 The lumberjacks from Las Tunas beat the Leones de Industriales 10-2 at the Julio Antonio Mella stadium and reached 40 successes to be one step away from securing a place in the next instance.

 Rafael Viñales with four hits, including a home run, drove in three runs and Yordanis Alarcón went 2 for 4 with four RBIs.

 Rookie Leandro Cañada pitched five innings to achieve his fourth success without setbacks and Rodolfo Díaz earned the save by walking the rest of the way without allowing a run.
