As expected, the Tigres from Ciego de Ávila made a reality —and with a wide score of 9x2—, the victory against the Hurricanes of Mayabeque, when yesterday Friday, the sealed match, corresponding to the quarterfinal playoff between both teams, resumed; which is now tied for success in the postseason of the 61st National Baseball Series.

The Hurricanes scored their only two runs in the seventh with three hits, including a home run by Denis Laza.

One entry before, the winners added two more, driven by Alfredo Fadraga, who in the match brought four for home play.

Yosvani Ávalos worked the ninth inning from the box and did not face any difficulties in closing the match on a date that marked the tenth anniversary of the victory of the Tigres against Industriales (at dawn on May 29, 2012), a success with which they conquered his first championship, in the 51st edition of these events.

Statements by Yorelvis Charles

At the end of the game, the mentor of Los Tigres offered statements to Invasor and announced that Luis Marrero will be the pitcher on Monday.

"Of course I'm very happy with the team's work, but I'll be honest with you: our aspiration was to achieve both wins.

"We had missed the home runs, but three appeared today. There was also an opportunity to hit. The boys are very motivated. We tell the Ciego de Ávila`s fans that we want to give them new joy."

During Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, at the José Ramón Cepero stadium, both teams will compete again.
