Cuban Baseball Update

Pedro Luis Lazo became the all time leader in wins in Series Nacionales with 237. He just helped his team, Pinar del Rio, accomplish what many struggle to do and that is eliminate Habana's Industriales in the playoffs. They are the first team to secure a spot in the semifinals.

Yulieski Gonzalez accomplished 15 victories in the season and remained undefeated. His team is facing Sancti Spiritus in the playoffs.

Alexei Bell became the all-time leader in homeruns with 31 and RBI with 111. Impressive considering they play a 90 game season. Bell also became the first player to have a 25-25 season. You can keep up with him in playoff action where his team Santiago de Cuba is facing Las Tunas.

The remaining series feature Sancti Spiritus vs Habana and Ciego de Avila vs Villa Clara.
