Sancti Spíritus, Nov 13.- The Gallo(Roosters)s de Sancti Spíritus defeated Matanzas 5-2 and ratified leadership, along with Industriales, in the II Elite Cuban Baseball League (LEBC), both with a 4-1 balance.
In the first game of the second subseries of the tournament, the people from Sancti Spiritus entrusted themselves to the arms of the pitching tandem Wilson Paredes (5.0 IP, 1CL, 3H, 4K, 2BB) and Yankiel Mauris (4.0 IP, 1CL, 4H, 5K, 1BB), winner and savior, respectively.

In the classic of Cuban baseball classics, Industriales reached four successes after beating Santiago de Cuba also 5-2 in a match delayed by rain in the eastern city.

The first reliever Marcos Ortega (4.0 IP, 3H, 1K, 1BB) contributed the victory, with a rescue for closer Juan Xavier Peñalver, to the detriment of Anier Pérez.
