The Vaqueros of La Habana were the victors on the Western Division semifinals with four victories and two defeats. They were able to contain the top pitchers of Pinar del Rio, Pedro Luis Lazo and Yunieski Maya. That proved to be the key in their advance to the championship series.
The Naranjas of Villa Clara were the winners in the Eastern Division semifinals, with four wins and three losses. They have played extremely well all year long and were able to defeat the Avispas of Santiago de Cuba, the champion of last year's national series. The Naranjas most likely will be the heavy favorites to win the crown this year. They have a very good team. But do not underestimate the Vaqueros, they will fight till the last inning is played.
The finals of Cuba's 48th National Baseball series will start this coming Friday at 8:00 p.m.at the Nelson Fernandez Stadium, where the Havana Cowboys normally play their games.
