Baseball
Of all the stops starting today, the Matanzas-Ciego de Avila duel could define whether the former will continue within the 50th National Baseball Series, the domestics classic in Cuba.

With 21 to 17 and placed in 7th place in the overall classification, Matanzas' Los Cocodrilos receive at home Ciego de Avila's Los Tigres, undisputed leaders during the preliminary stage of the Season.

However, although excluded from the so-called Classification Area, Villa Clara kept their meager chances of advancing to the 2nd round after winning 4-1 to the already discarded Santiago de Cuba. And another from baseball says that Cuban slugger and catcher Yosvani Alarcón hits 4 homers in double-header to appear as home-runs leader of the current Cuban Baseball Championship with 12 by hitting 4 homers during the double match program against Holguin yesterday at the Julio Antonio Mella stadium.
