Yara’s cannon turned white in the blue fortress> Sports> Granma

Tension at each release or Swing; restrained breathing, emotions that, at times, are contained and that, at others, turn heroism into frustration. This is how the excellent ball game between Granma and Industrials was lived, in which the Alazanes crowned their triumphant entrance in the semifinals of the 60 National Series.

The Granmenses hung from two arms to support the narrow, longed-for 2-1 victory. One of them returned to be the one of the tube of Yara, White Lazaro, that, armed of all their equanimity, knew to leave a first chapter of two tickets and two Jits, tolerating the unique one of the Blue ones, for , from here, consecrate 107 submissions and to lead to its cavalry with six ponches, without bolearing in addition no opposite and to space other four unstoppable ones.

His teammates responded and equalized the shock in the same first chapter, after the uncontrollability of opener Maykel Taylor, with 12 submissions, ten of them balls, and the JIT driving a foal that has always been « wild ”in this type of encounter, Carlos Benítez, author, in addition to the other annotation, after sticking tubey in the third and registering with another biangular, this one of Iván Prieto, that in the play off he drove six of his team’s 16. Almost one in three, one towed him.

The other arm? It was not that of a pitcher, but that of right fielder Alexquemer Sanchez, responsible for two exits keys to triumph. In the seventh, with Juan A. Torriente in the initial one (by his JIT thousand in national series) and two exits, Andrés Hernández released a cloud breaker that was embedded in the top of the fence. The talented batsman was betrayed by the excitement of what seemed like a decisive home run, and barely ran to first, looking at what would be a heroic act, however, when he collided with the bard, and wanted to win a base, Sanchez fired a “missile” at second base and sentenced him, without Torriente arriving a home, Something also contradictory, as he had to do it with a connection of this nature.

A chapter later, Lisbán Correa drew a line to Sánchez’s prairie, who got into this awkward corner of the field. Capital wanted to reach the middle ground, but again the Alatzan broke the fearlessness of his opponents.

Blanc and Sánchez, and these hidden details in any sport, which go through the adrenaline rushes, concentration, observation and calculations of what each action represents at any given moment, were the keys to this crucial clash. In baseball they are even more harmful, as in more than two and a half hours of play, any nonsense takes its toll, because, for example, in a challenge like yesterday, there are no second chances.

When there is a delivery like the one we saw in this match there is no consolation for what falls, but the players and fans of the capital have nothing to complain about, not even these tactical slips. Their pitching, which came as the weak point, took them to the fifth game; in the offensive they always looked for one more and in the field custody they shone. So did Granma, who left his 314 offensive average for his pitchers to decide, with the seasoned manager Carlos Martí, breaking Avilés-Despaigne’s manuelles, behind Carles Benítez’s bat, and he was right.

It was two hours and 51 minutes in which the players made us for a while we were Lions and other Chestnuts. Duels like these one would never want to end. Yes, he was worthy of a final, in which only one can win, and Granma triumphed, because in ball he wins the least he can, and for that he needs the clarity of Blanco’s pitching and a defense that remove the exits which Alexquemer Sanchez achieved.
