Santiago de Cuba repeats as Champion

Santiago de Cuba cruised to an easy four game sweep to complete their back to back titles. Homerun champ Alexei Bell and company proved to be too much for the Pinar del Rio squad.

The PinareƱos were outscored 29-9 in the four games. The final game was the only close one where Bell came through in the clutch singlig in the winning run off Pedro Luis Lazo who was pitching in relief.

Now that the Serie Nacional 47 has concluded, the National team will reconvene in Havana within the next two weeks to prepare for Beijing.
