The twenty-fifth Veterans League competition day of the Project: “Softball, quality of life” had several outstanding notes. First, the Shrimpers of the Veterans 3 team once again won the Sunday double game for the second consecutive weekend, this time, both by knock out, weaving a winning chain of 5 games in a row, which allowed them not only to ascend another "little stripe" in the standing and get closer to the leaders of the championship (now 7 games from the top), but they also managed to reach more games won than lost for the first time this season (25 - 24) with an average of over 500 (510). They also managed to surpass, for the first time, the Jagua of the Veterans 2 team, in the runs-average, now with 519 in favour and 541 against (for a difference of – 22). On the other hand, the Shrimpers' pitching performed excellently, allowing only 12 hits on the day (5 against the Jagua and 7 against the Elephants). Second, the Jagua of the veterans 2 team, lost both Sunday games for the second consecutive week, this time both by knock out, weaving a negative chain of defeats of 5 consecutive games and exhibiting a poor average of 340 as a result of only 17 games won and 33 lost. Jagua also scored only 3 runs this week end and only connected 12 sad hits. Third, all Sunday games ended with knock out scores. In addition, it is also worth noting that this weekend we had a visit as a spectator and fan, nothing more and nothing less that to the veteran Dairo Enrique Moreno Polo, Dairo Moreno´s father, our Civitas-Global-Educational-Services´ sponsor.
