The highlight of this thirty-second round of the Veterans League, of the Project: “Softball, quality of life” was the double Sunday victory of the Jagua of the Veterans 2 team, after 25 weeks without achieving such a feat. Although they are still very far from the top and no longer mathematically likely to win the championship, this double smile allowed the Jagua to surpass twenty victories, reaching 21. On the other hand, the Elephants of the Veterans 2 team, virtual champions of the eleventh edition of the league, lost the double Sunday game. They had not lost both Sunday games for 14 weeks. This double defeat is due to the current offensive slump that the elephants are going through.

This thirty-first week, the veterans softball league of the “Softball, quality of life” Project had among its most outstanding notes, the friendly meeting held on the afternoon of Wednesday 23, with colleagues from California State University Los Angeles, State University of New York Cortland, Delta State University and American Association of State Colleges and Universities, who were participating in the IX “WORKSHOP ON STRATEGIC ALLIANCES FOR THE INTERNATIONALIZATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION” (TIES VII), held at the University of Cienfuegos from October 22 to 24, 2024, in which, in addition to fraternizing and exchanging knowledge, the usual donation of some balls was made to promote and support the project, sponsored by CIVITAS GES. In the eleventh edition of the Veterans League, this Sunday, October 27, the Shrimpers of the veterans’ team 3, had the most outstanding performance, winning the Sunday doubleheader, recovering the average above .500 in the standings (.508). The virtual champion Elephants of the veterans’ team 1 shared honors, but in all honesty, their offense was far below what was usual, and they only managed to produce 9 runs in the two games played. For their part, the Jagua, of the veterans’ team 2, directed by the prestigious coordinator of the project, the veteran star Juan Ramón Díaz Hernández, continues to decline and lost the Sunday doubleheader again.

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.
