Huracanes Reshape the Elite League Baseball Standings

Like an unrelenting gale, the team managed by Osmel Cordero punished opposing pitching with 13 hits and built a lopsided score that allowed them to secure their 15th victory and sneak into fourth place in the standings.

The attack featured standout performances from Jeison Martínez, who hit a double and a home run with four runs batted in, and Lázaro Ponce, effective at the plate going 3-for-2, also with a homer and two RBIs that set the pace of the contest.

From the mound, Kevin Hernández delivered a solid seven-inning start, allowing just two hits and striking out four, while Enyer Fernández took the loss after surrendering five earned runs, four hits, and five walks in three innings.

At Victoria de Girón Stadium, Artemisa's Cazadores lost ground in the standings by falling 9-6 to the Matanzas Cocodrilos, who put together a decisive six-run rally in the fifth inning to tip the scales.

The offensive leadership for the Yumurinos rested on Hanyelo Videt, who again showed his power with a home run and an RBI single, well accompanied by Eduardo Blanco and Yariel Duque, both with two hits and a pair of RBIs in a night of timely hitting.

Yandro Daudinot made his mark with Matanzas by working six innings, allowing only two runs — both coming from a Harold Vázquez home run — while Omar David Pérez suffered the loss, affected by defensive errors that led to four unearned runs.

At the Latinoamericano Stadium, the Holguín Cachorros secured a narrow 4-3 victory over Industriales thanks to a decisive hit by Lázaro Cedeño in the ninth inning, breaking the tie against reliever Jordan Williams.

Michael Gorguet and Euclides Pérez had tied the game with consecutive home runs, while Luis Vicente Mateo contributed two doubles and an RBI, in a duel that consolidated the northeastern team in third place in the championship.

After the day's action, Industriales holds the lead with a 21-12 record, followed by Las Tunas (17-14), Holguín (17-16), Mayabeque (15-17), Artemisa (14-17), and Matanzas (11-19), in a standings that reflect tight competition in every stretch of the calendar.
