San José de las Lajas, January  10 (RHC/JIT)-- Quality figures such as Dennis Laza, Yasniel González, Yadián Martínez and Marlon Vega are called to play a leading role in the Mayabeque team that will seek a place in the post-season of the 61st National Baseball Series.

Not satisfied with the tenth place achieved in the previous edition, athletes and technicians intend to be included among the top eight and for this they have developed a preparation described as "very positive" by commissioner Juan Carlos Rodriguez.

"The planning and organization of the training units led to the fulfillment of the planned objectives," he explained this Sunday during the constitution meeting of a team that will again be directed by Michael Gonzalez.

In a work session led by the first secretary of the PCC in the province, Yanina de la Nuez Aclich, the specialist assured that this work created the necessary bases to face the demands of the competition.

Gonzalez, for his part, stressed that all the objectives were met, including those outlined for the 16 confrontation games faced (7-8-1), in which winning was not a priority, but to distribute responsibilities to the athletes.

"The team is well focused and the seven weeks of work covered so far have been satisfactory," he said before considering that the level achieved allows us to think of a better start than the one experienced in the 60th Games, an aspiration identified as key.  

He praised the support of the authorities of a territory that today celebrates 11 years of creation, and said that the proposed goal has to do with the progression demonstrated in the previous version, "convinced that we can".
