Havana, May 14 (ACN) --The Vegueros of Pinar del Río will seek today as hosts in Captain San Luis to break the winning streak of five games that the Leopardos of Villa Clara have, in the continuation of the LXIII National Baseball Series.

Ramón Moré's orange troop arrives in lower lands after becoming the third team to sweep this campaign, but beating the tournament leaders and at home seems like a difficult task at the moment.

The "broom pass" of the also called Azucareros was signed against the Piratas de La Isla, a squad located almost at the bottom of the standings, although in their favor it should be noted that they exhibit the best average of earned runs in the championship with 4.25 per complete game.

This has led them to place themselves, with a balance of 22-25, in tenth place, just two games from the entrance door to the classification zone, guarded by the Matanzas Crocodiles (24-23).

The Pinareños, who play much better on the road than in front of their fans, are second in that section with an ERA of 4.39, but first in offense (.333) and in home run production (63).

With 32 wins in 47 challenges, they are already approaching their ticket to the postseason, when almost a third of the regular calendar still remains to be won.

For today they will use one of their best trump cards: right-hander Jenier Álvarez, who has obtained five successes without defeats in this contest after 11 starts, six of them as a starter.

The visitors will depend on rookie Cristian Rojas, who is 1-1 with a 4.35 ERA in 20.2 innings of work.

At the beginning of the tenth particular subseries, the duels Las Tunas (27-15)-Matanzas (24-23), Granma (28-19)- Mayabeque (21-26), Ciego de Ávila (27-20) are also agreed upon. -La Isla (15-27) and Camagüey (27-20) and Industriales (26-21).

The clashes of Artemisa (24-23)-Holguín (18-29), Sancti Spiritus (21-26)-Santiago de Cuba (23-24) and Cienfuegos (16-31)-Guantánamo (20-27) will close the card.
