SIX PLAYOFF BERTHS CLINCHED IN CUBAN SERIES

With six games remaining in the regular season, six playoff berths have been clinched in the Cuban National Series. In the Occidental Division, La Habana, Pinar del Rio and Sancti Spiritus are set for the postseason. Ciego de Avila, Santiago de Cuba and Villa Clara will extend their seasons in the Oriental Division. Isla de Juventud has a magic number of four for the final berth in the Occidental Division, while Holguin’s magic number for the fourth playoff slot in the Oriental Division is three.

Granma’s Alfredo Despaigne leads the league with 31 homers, and is now tied with Santiago de Cuba’s Alexei Bell for the all-time single season homer record. Bell set the mark last winter.
