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).

THIS IS AN EXTRA REPORT OF WHAT HAPPENED IN WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN WEEK 28, WHEN IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO PLAY DUE TO RAIN. I LEAVE IT FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. This weekend, it was not possible to play, all the games of Sunday, September 15 were suspended due to the poor conditions of the baseball fields as a result of the heavy rains on Friday and Saturday. Nevertheless, practically all the veteran athletes of the “Softball, Quality of Life” Project met at the “Los Caballitos” stadium next to the “Amanecer Feliz” amusement childish park to receive their colleagues from Philadelphia Drexel University, with whom a pleasant exchange was held, and all the details of the project were explained to them as well as all the questions and doubts they had, were answered. It was an excellent meeting, fruitful, constructive, of brotherhood, collaboration and mutual support and especially educational, which served to show the visitors that despite the difficult situations that the Cuban people are experiencing: economic, energy, shortages, inflation, lacks, and so on, it is still capable of undertaking projects like this and bringing a little joy and entertainment to the Cuban lives and in particular, to the people of Cienfuegos, demonstrating the resilience of Cubans and their willingness to sacrifice to build the social model we chose and continue being a sovereign country.
