Odrisamer Despaigne and Robelio Carrillo were the opening pitchers for Industriales and Villa Clara.
Industriales scored its first run, a home run by Rudy Reyes, on the bottom of the second inning. Villaclara counterattacked fast and scored a run on the top of the third, tying the game 1-1. No runs were scored by either team in the next three innings.
On the Industriales lucky-seventh, the Blue Lions had consecutive hits by Morejon and Olivares. Tabares struck out, but Torriente followed with a timely hit to left field and Morejon scored the go-ahead run. Urgelles had a single and Olivares scored. Industriales 3, Villaclara 1.
The Oranges answered right away by scoring two more runs on the top of the eighth inning, re-tying the game 3-3.
The game went into extra innings and the Schiller rule went into effect. I personally do not like the Schiller rule. I call it the 'hurry-up-and-win' rule. It is a very dumb rule and the wrong way to decide a baseball game.
All the runs that decided this game were Schiller fake runs. They were not based on player skill.
