Havana, April 3 (ACN) - In one of the best games of the tournament, Ciego de Avila confirmed its leadership by defeating Industriales 1-0 in the Cuban baseball season.

The game was tied at zero runs in the eighth inning when the Tigers scored to add their 16th hit with only two losses and move four runs ahead of their pursuers in the standings, Pinar and Camagüey.

The winning run was driven in by Ronaldo Castillo with a single to ensure the undefeated pace of pitcher Luis Marrero, who in seven innings struck out five and remains undefeated at 3-0.

The Toros de Camagüey moved up to second place shared with their Tuesday's victim, the team from Pinar del Río, which they defeated 5-1.

In the game, the Camagüeyans counted on a successful start by Ángel Luis Márquez (6.2IP, 1CL, 6K) and a home run by Erminio Escobar.

The Alazanes de Granma reaffirmed their position as the team with the most home runs by hitting four to defeat the Cocodrilos de Matanzas 18-10.

Guillermo García (4-2), Yuniesky Remón (6-4), Darián Palma (5-2) and Alexquemer Sánchez (6-3) led the way for the eastern team and each had a trio of runs.

For the Yumurinos, Yoisnel Camejo (3-1), Yariel Duque (4-1) and Eduardo Blanco (5-2) homered, the latter with four RBIs.
