The first week of competitions within the 61 National Baseball Series went down in history in which until now a team remains undefeated to the surprise of many of the specialists.
The Hurricanes of Mayabeque have stolen all the headlines at this start of the campaign by achieving four successes in the same number of appearances against the teams from Villa Clara and Santi Spíritus.
The performance of outfielder Dennis Laza Spencer, who in the coming days could make history in the country’s greatest sporting spectacle, has greatly influenced this result of the troops led by Michael González.
Laza so far in the young season has a .357 batting average with three RBIs, four runs scored, two homers, a stolen base while his offensive line is (.500 OBP/ .786 SLU/ 1,286 SLU) in the four games he has played.

At the end of Sunday afternoon, the player who debuted in 2009 with the Havana Cowboys was placed just one homer away from the hundred throughout his career, which would allow him to become the 134th athlete to achieve such a feat.
On January 9, 2009, the outfielder shot his first homer when, as a pinch hitter at the close of the game, he took advantage of a noble send by Leandro Martínez, a lefty from Granma, to deposit the ball in the stands of the Nelson Fernández stadium.
In the twelve seasons that he has participated in Cuban baseball, lasso He reached his best results last season when in the 75 games he managed to send 17 balls out of the park to thus be within the All-Star Offensive of the event.
The player from Mayabeque is one of the players who has worn the most uniforms in his career, since on several occasions he has been selected as a reinforcement, highlighting his interventions against Granma and Pinar del Río.
