Los Alazanes win the double game against Las Tunas

Las Tunas.- Los Alazanes de Granma twice defeated the Lumberjacks of Las Tunas on Monday, with blackboards of 5×2 and 2×1, combining timely batting and effective work of their pitchers with the low offensive of a tunneling cast that has just scored 4 races in his last three clashes of the 59 National Baseball Series.

The day they returned to line up his internationals Yosvani Alarcón and Yuniesky Larduet, those led by Pablo Civil could not decipher the shipments of the openers Yoel Mojena and Erluis Blanco, who took the victories, nor of the closer Carlos Santana, author of both salvages.

In the early hours, the Lumberjacks were winning the clash until the top of the sixth episode, when the two-time national champions made a decisive five-race cluster against starter Yudiel Rodriguez, excessively delayed over the box, and reliever Yosbel Alarcón, who endured the key battles of the match: double by Darién García and single by Ariel Pestano Jr., both with full bases and tugs of two entries each.

In the second hour, the Alazanes had an unsuspected hero in substitute Guillermo García. With a high sacrifice in the second chapter and a single in the fourth, the initialist drove the two races of his team, enough for the White-Santana binomial to ensure victory from the hill. The two serpentineros limited the local offense to a hairline in the fourth episode, when Jorge Yhonson hit a double and Yordanis Alarcón singled him to the right field.

The attack of the Lumberjacks, which reached its highest peak in the 17×7 beating of the first game against Santiago de Cuba, began to decrease since then and in its last three clashes averages seven connected jits and just 1.3 runs scored.

This Tuesday, the current monarchs of Cuba will have the great challenge of leaving the slump collective nothing less than in front of the star Lázaro Blanco, announced to work by the mentor Carlos Martí. The right-handed Yoalkis Cruz, of great performance in his last outing against the Wasps, will try to save his people from his first sweep of the season.
