Week 6 of the 12th Veterans League edition brought a stunning twist to the season, as the seemingly unstoppable Elephants (Veterans 1) suffered a rare setback. After four straight weeks of doubleheader sweeps and a dominant nine-game winning streak, the league leaders were knocked back with two tough losses on Sunday, proving that even giants can fall. On the flip side, it was a statement weekend for the Shrimpers (Veterans 3). After weeks of frustration, they roared back to life with a much-needed doubleheader sweep, securing sole possession of second place and cutting the Elephants' lead to four games. Their resurgence injects fresh excitement into the title race as they look to build on this momentum. Meanwhile, the Jaguas (Veterans 2) endured a tough outing, dropping both of their games and sliding to the bottom of the standings. Now trailing the top spot by five games, they face an uphill battle to climb back into contention. With the Elephants showing vulnerability and the Shrimpers gaining steam, the league is heating up fast. Will this be the turning point of the season, or will the Elephants shake off their slump and reassert their dominance? The next chapter of this thrilling campaign awaits!

The fifth week of the 12th Veterans League edition carried extra significance as it coincided with the 11th anniversary of the "Softball, Quality of Life" project. To mark the occasion, project coordinator and founder Juan Ramón Díaz Hernández took center stage after the first game, gathering the veteran athletes for an emotional tribute. In a symbolic journey through time, he reflected on 11 years of perseverance, achievements, and camaraderie. A historic moment was captured in a commemorative photo featuring the league’s founding members who were present for this special day. On the field, the Elephants (Veterans 1) continued their relentless march toward dominance. For the fourth consecutive week, they swept their Sunday doubleheader, improving to a near-flawless 9-1 record and tightening their grip at the top of the standings with a commanding six-game lead. The driving force behind their latest triumph? Star right-hander Yosvany María Córdova, who delivered a masterclass on the mound, securing both wins for his team. Meanwhile, the Jaguas (Veterans 2) suffered a costly doubleheader loss, opening the door for the Shrimpers (Veterans 3) to catch up. With both teams now sitting at 3-7, they find themselves locked in a battle at the bottom of the standings, desperately seeking a turnaround before the gap widens further. With the Elephants charging ahead and the rest of the league struggling to keep pace, the coming weeks will be crucial. Can anyone slow down the powerhouse squad, or will they continue to stampede their way toward another title? Stay tuned—this season is just getting started!
