This thirtieth journey of the Veterans League belonging to the Project: “Softball, quality of life” was marked by a division of honors. All the teams achieved to win one game and lose another, so the standings remained intact and the Elephants of the Veterans 1 team managed to maintain the lead at the standing top, with 12 games difference over their closest pursuer, the Shrimpers of the Veterans 3 team. The “stragglers” Jagua of the Veterans 2 team, were about to win the double game, but in the sixth inning, when they were easily winning 9 runs to 1 against the Veterans 3 team, the Elephants went wild and scored nothing more and nothing less than the whopping 14 runs, setting a new record for most runs scored in one inning, in the history of the League and the Project.

The most significant thing about this twenty-ninth weekend in the veterans’ league belonging to the Project: "Softball, Quality of Life” was another sweep (double victory) by the Elephants of the Veterans 1 team, managing to weave a chain of 9 consecutive triumphs. In this superb performance of the already virtual Champion of this 11th edition of the cup, it is worth noting that the Elephants only allowed 3 runs in the 12 innings played, which included an outstanding shutout by the star right-handed pitcher Yordanis Quiñones González. In contrast to the above, the Jaguas of the Veterans 2 team lost the double game again, already moving away 22.5 games from the top of the league standings. Individually, Eliécer Hernández Muñoz of the Shrimpers team and Arnaldo “Nani” Bueno Silva of the Jagua team shone, athletes who for their excellent performance this weekend were chosen MVP in both games.

The most significant note in the twenty-eighth day of the veterans’ league of the “Softball: Quality of Life” Project, was the Jagua of Veterans 2 tight victory achieved, after 9 consecutive lost games and four weekends being swept (losing the Sunday doubleheader), leaving the Shrimpers of the Veterans 3 team on the field 6 x 5, with whom they had been losing for five consecutive weeks. In another order of information and also a very notable note, the Elephants of Veterans 1 achieved their third consecutive sweep, increasing their advantage at the top of the standings to 11 games from their closest pursuer (Shrimpers).
