Villa Clara Opens Playoffs with Victory Over Las Tunas

Villa Clara Begins Quarterfinals with Commanding Win
The Villa Clara Sugar Kings continue their sweet run on the field after defeating the Las Tunas Woodcutters 10-4 today at the Julio Antonio Mella stadium, marking the start of the quarterfinals in the 64th Cuban National Baseball Series.

Seven-Run Inning Seals Victory for Sugar Kings
The decisive blow for the visitors came in the third inning with a seven-run outburst, a statement of authority in the game and a declaration of intent from the team managed by Ramón Moré.

Leading the offense for the central Cuban team were Yoasnier Pérez, with a three-run home run, and Eliser Arrechavaleta, who enjoyed a perfect day at the plate, going 4-for-4 with two singles, a double, and a triple. This offensive display provided solid backing for the pitching staff.

Pitching Efforts Secure the Win
The credit from the mound went to Darío Sarduy, who pitched five innings, allowing four hits and two home runs. The save was handled by Alain Sánchez, who, despite facing some difficulties, maintained his team's firm lead.

After eleven wins in the regular season, Yosmel Garcés of Las Tunas tasted the bitterness of defeat, succumbing to the momentum of an orange-clad team with a hot finish and sky-high motivation.

Both teams will return to the field this Thursday at the same time for the next matchup.
