La Habana has won their first Cuban National Series pennant after defeating Villa Clara in five games in the championship series. The Vaqueros wrapped up the title Thursday night with a 6-0 shutout of Villa Clara as Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez won his fifth playoff game in a masterful five-hit performance on the mound. Ruby Silva and Ernesto Molinet homered in support for La Habana.
The Vaqueros won the first three games of the championship series before Villa Clara bounced back with a 10-inning, 4-3 win Wednesday night on Ramon Lunar’s bases-loaded walkoff single, but the series belonged to La Habana, who entered the league in 1977 and reached the finals by eliminating Pinar del Rio, 4 games to 2, in a rain-soaked Occidental Division final set.
