Camagüey, June 24. - The six possible victories scored in the most recent matches against Ciego de Ávila and Las Tunas have put the province's team at the top of Group C of the National Under-23 Baseball Tournament.
These positive results have allowed the Camagüey natives to show seven winning starts in nine games, a record they hope to improve upon when they face Sancti Spíritus at the Cándido González stadium today. Sancti Spíritus, winner in two of the three matches of the previous round.
By the way, in those days, the only victory of the particular duel was coined by the right pitcher Riquelmi Odelín, now with two successes in the tournament (there are four with the same number in the championship), whose elimination stage has nine games left, including those starting on this competitive date.
Collectively, the Camagüey natives are batting for 297 (69 hits in 232 at-bats), scoring 42 runs, and have notched 14 doubles, the third-highest total in the tournament.
Collectively, the Agramontinos are batting .297 (69 hits in 232 at-bats), scoring 42 runs, and have notched 14 doubles, the third-highest total in the tournament.
With 15 unstoppable in 28 turns, and high average of 536, the receiver Marcos Torres is the main spark in the attack, because he has on his account, as an illustrative detail, that he owns the only two home runs of the roster.
Another standout on offense is shortstop Leonardo Casado (300). At catcher, opponents have stolen bases 12 times, and only four baserunners have been caught in the attempt.
The best numbers among pitchers are those of Odelín, who in 14 innings, allows only 111 bats, his earned run average is 1.00, and he strikes out 13.
In the other match of the series, the Ciego de Ávila team visits the Las Tunas Lumberjacks, each with three wins and six losses. (Text and photo: Gilberto Rodríguez Rivero/Radio Cadena Agramonte Contributor)
