The team Industriales of Havana rose with a new title in the Cuban baseball championship, the twelfth of his career, defeating Villa Clara 7-5 in ten innings in a duel of six hours tension that kept millions of Cubans until well into the early hours of today.
The "lions" in the capital and the "orange" Villa Clara tied arrived Wednesday night the last of the seven games of the final round held at the stadium Sandino Santa Clara, 300 kilometers east of Havana, filled by a 18,000.
While the baseball game ended at 2:00 am, thousands of people in Havana did not wait until morning and took to the streets to celebrate. For hours were heard in the center of the city sirens, car horns, conga accents and even roar.
The hero of the night was the pitcher Joan Socarrás, a southpaw, 19, pitching for two innings and striking out five batters rivals, without allowing runs.
Industrialess victory surprised his own fans because the team had been the worst in the initial phase and barely qualified for the playoffs.
