With the aim of seeking the second victory in the sub-series against the Crocodiles of Matanzas, the Industriales of Havana went out to the grass of the Latin American stadium.

The visitors responded quickly to the early attack of the cats. Yadir Drake, the inspiring spark plug of the team, hit a double at the beginning of the second inning, to wake up the bats from Matanzas. Eduardo Blanco, Julio César González and Roberto Acea continued the party and placed a favorable score of 3×1.

Actions froze until the swamps came back to bite at the height of the fifth episode. On that occasion, the native of Havana, Javier Camero, was in charge of widening the score. Likewise, Carmona’s pupils cut the difference in the conclusion of that inning, product of an RBI single by Sandy Menocal.

In the so-called “lucky inning”, the players of the “City of Bridges” produced again. The first men in the lineup combined for Jefferson Delgado to drive in the fifth score for the Matanzas. The Blues received a zero in that inning, although Oscar Valdés hit a two-angle shot to center field.
