After losing the weekend games a couple of times against the Mayabeque Hurricanes, Camagüey breathed again in the 61st National Baseball Series by completing an unexpected sweep over Matanzas.

The national baseball commissioner, Ernesto Reinoso, announced last week the signing of six of the country's main talents by clubs in the professional league of Panama, including Yosimar Cousín and Loidel Chapellí Jr.

Even those who hate mathematics in this province have taken up paper, pencil and calculator to know the so-called magic number of their team, statistics that would reveal the amount of victories that the Bulls need to classify the post-season of the 59^th National series. However, in the bench of the team, Miguel Borroto and his colleagues have not taken the time to do it, because superior goals are at hand. The victories before Santiago de Cuba and Cienfuegos and the success 2-1 before Las Tunas, reaffirmed them in the honorary place with a balance of 49 victories and 31 failures and proved that Camagüey is not wining out of pure luck.

The powerful lineup of the leader Las Tunas amounted 12 hits, including four doubles, when defeating Pinar del Río 8-3 and remains as leader of the 57th Cuban National Baseball Series.

The new way of conceding an intentional walk and the presence of 40 players in each team are the big news of the 57th edition of the Cuban National Baseball Series, which will start next Saturday.

Against all odds, Granma became champions of the 56th Cuban National Baseball Series when beating 3-2 Ciego de Avila, previous monarchs.

Granma beat away for the second consecutive day Ciego de Avila in the final playoff of the 56th Cuban National Baseball Series and now leads 2-0 the series.
