Havana, January 19 (RHC)-- The Agricultores team went to bat today and did not stop until they scored as many runs as days of the year, to take the victory in the fifth game of the final play off of the Elite League of Cuban Baseball (LEBC), with a 19-5 knockout.

The public that crowded the Nelson Fernandez stadium, in the province of Mayabeque, with the illusion of seeing their Portuarios come out champions, had to postpone the party, because Carlos Marti's students had other plans.

Two huge bunches in the third and seventh innings were insurmountable and, if this was not enough, they scored, except in the first and fifth chapters, in the rest of the innings.

No pitcher used by the Portuarios was spared the punishment, and the young starter José Ignacio Bermudes lost the game.

The victory went to the record of César García, who pitched quite well until a rebellion of the westerners, who counted as the highest offensive note in the game, with home runs by Oscar Valdés and Roberto Acevedo, both with a teammate on base.

On the other hand, if we are talking about home runs, the winners served themselves with a big spoon, as Guillermo Avilés, and twice, Yordanis Alarcón, Alexquemer Sánchez and Rafael Viñales, the latter hit his 100th and 101st home runs in domestic classics, also pushing six runs.

Now the final series is three games to two, still in favor of the Portuarios. Tomorrow, Friday will be a transfer date and next Saturday the fight for the title will resume at the Mártires de Barbados stadium in Bayamo. If Michael Gonzalez's disciples win, everything will be over and the Portuarios will represent Cuba in the next Caribbean Series; but if the success corresponds to the Agricultores, a seventh and decisive game will be necessary on Sunday.
