Baseball Elite League

Havana, January 3 (RHC)-- The first Elite League of Cuban Baseball will enter its decisive phase starting this Wednesday, when one of the semifinal playoffs begins.

At the Victoria de Girón Park in Matanzas, Centrales and Portuarios, occupants of positions two and three (in order) during the 50-game qualifying phase, will face each other.

The orange-colored team coached by Armando Ferrer covered the preliminary stage without fanfare, but did the task of seconding the great pre-competition favorite, Carlos Marti's Agricultores.

Their solid roster and the astuteness of their manager were enough to finish second and start the semifinal crossing at home against a Portuarios team that has come from less to more in the competition.

We can expect great games, although many elements indicate that the team with players from Matanzas, Villa Clara and Cienfuegos should win a play-off of seven games at the most.

The other semifinal match between Agricultores and Tabacaleros is scheduled to start on Thursday. At first glance, the eastern team has the advantage of a great roster, a formidable regular stage and athletes adapted to play in the postseason.

In the Mártires de Barbados stadium, they should also enjoy the support of the fans, perhaps more animated in this final stage, which will decide the representative of the Island in the Gran Caracas 2023 Caribbean Baseball Series.

Tabacaleros lived a preliminary stage with ups and downs and took the last place to the postseason. It enjoys good pitching and a strategist like Alexander Urquiola, capable of squeezing a roster that is not astonishing on paper, but knows how to win games.

Days of good Cuban baseball are coming. Let's enjoy...
