VILLA CLARA ONLY REMAINING UNBEATEN CUBAN TEAM

Following the first week of action in the Cuban National Series, the Villa Clara Naranjeros are the only undefeated team in the league with a 6-0 record. Villa Clara beat Metropolitanos, 2-1, last Sunday as Naranjeros starter Juan Yasiel Serrano pitched seven innings and allowed just one run on six hits with a half-dozen strikeouts.

Villa Clara was losing 1-0 in the eighth inning with two runners on base when pinch-hitter Yeniet Perez stroked a two-run double to center. Misael Silveiro came out of the bullpen to nail down the save for the Naranjeros.

Defending champion Santiago de Cuba got off to a rough start, winning just twice in their first seven games.
