Before a small audience at the monumental Simón Bolívar stadium, in La Rinconada,

the Agricultores team, which represents Cuba in the 65th edition of the Caribbean Series, fell for the second consecutive time in the regional tournament

, being beaten this Sunday by Cañeros from Mochis six races for five.

The game had a very similar start to the previous crushing loss against Venezuela, even with the same lineup.

The Cuban starting pitcher was once again unable to walk the route and lefty Ángel Luis Sánchez left in the same first inning after taking only two outs and allowing three earned, two hits, two walks and one strikeout.

To rescue him, Carlos Martí sent Kelbis Rodríguez, who resolved the situation.

At the end of the second inning and with no out, Agricultores showed another face on offense and loaded the bases, thanks to a single by Yosvani Alarcón, a walk by Rafael Viñales and a hit to left field by Guillermo Avilés.

Then, Denis Laza reached base on the third baseman's error and the opportune hit came again in this tournament by Andrés de La Cruz, with a jit to

left that tied the game.

The fourth entered due to an error by the Mexican shortstop, and the fifth due to an inappropriate movement (

balk

) by pitcher Jeffrey Patrick Kinley, a controversial move that led to the expulsion of Mexican manager José Moreno.

Later, in the third chapter, the Mexicans discounted and went up six runs for five against Rodríguez's shipments.

Lefty Jeffrey Patrick Kinley won the match.

In six innings of work they made five runs, two of them clean, he withstood four hits, struck out two and walked one, while relievers Rafael Córdova and Samuel Zazueta did not allow liberties.

As of the third inning, the Mexican pitcher retired 23 men in a row. The game was saved by Jake Sánchez, his second save of the contest.

The Aztecs connected 10 hits, compared to only five for the Cubans.

The most outstanding for the Mexicans was Rodolfo Amador, 4-3, while for Cuba, Guillermo Avilés (4-2 and one scored) stood out.

"Physically, I feel good and fit at bat. Regarding the team, we have given everything, except yesterday's game. On some occasions small details have cost us the games. With these teams, you have to play very accurately and not give them anything," Aviles said.

Likewise, Yosvani Alarcón and Yunieski Larduet, both 3-1, stood out.

The latter has shown combativeness, using speed depending on the offense, with two robbery attempts, one of them effective.

Rafael Viñales continues with debts on offense.

So far, he hasn't hit a hit in the tournament,

after 14 at-bats

.

Tomorrow, Farmers will face Vaqueros de Montería starting at 10:30 am.

(Colombia).

Right-hander Jonathan Carbó will take the mound.
