With the usual formula, hitting until they were tired, the Leñadores (Lumberjacks) made their way to the next round of the 2nd Elite League, after beating the Gallos (Roosters) from Sancti Spíritus by way of a 12-2 knockout in the penultimate duel of the qualifying phase. Despite having an unstable performance on most of the schedule, they still have a chance of taking second place in the standings.

Las Tunas, Cuba.- The Las Tunas bats, with the complicity of the date, made Sunday a party of hits that brought to light the bad step of the Sancti Spíritus arms. The 11 local hits turned into a dozen scores against five rival pitchers, including the defeated Ariel Zerquera, who perished in the attempt to dampen the celebration.

Yordanis Alarcón (3-1/ HR/ 4 RBI), Leonel Moas (3-2/ 2 2B/ 4 RBI), and Yunior Josué Otero (3-2/ 3B/ 3 RBI) dressed as organizers of the show in the batting box. Likewise, Alejandro Meneses, winner of the match, made the visiting artillery dance to the rhythm of his deliveries, decorating five innings with only three hits and one dirty score.

The reaction of Las Tunas (20-19) increased the misfortune of the feathered team in the final stretch of the calendar. From the statistics sheet, the duel predicted parity; however, the game has provided a very different script, to the point of making the green-red sweep available. Although Abeysi Pantoja's troops fulfilled their duties, a victory in the last clash could achieve the objective of climbing in the ranking, where the door to second place remains open.
