Week 6 Results – Proyecto Softbol Calidad de Vida

CIENFUEGOS, CUBA – It is the sixth day of competition for Proyecto Softbol, Calidad de Vida. Today, we celebrated the 9th anniversary of the league’s founding day of February 2, 2014.

With reporters from the local news television station, “Perlavisión”, looking on, anniversary activities were held at “Los Caballitos” field near the Cienfuegos Children’s amusement park to hold the day’s activities which coincided with the 2023 National Youth Baseball Cup. The ceremony started with observing a minute of silence in tribute to over 33,000 victims of the Turkey and Syria earthquake and to two recent Cuban baseball Hall of Famers, Tomas Aquino Abreu Águila and Luis Ignacio González Pérez, who died on 10 and February 11, respectively. Aquino Abreu was a Cuban National Series founder and still holds the distinction of throwing two consecutive perfect games (zero hits, zero runs) on January 16 and 25, 1966, during the fifth National Baseball Series. Luis Ignacio was a multiple MVP for the Havana Agropecuarios, who debuted in the XXIV National Series in 1985 and played 12 seasons averaging .309, hitting 173 home runs, and 682 RBI’s.

The games for week six of the 10th Veterans Softball League are highlighted by two wins (a double victory) for the Elephants who remain in first place this season. In a close second place are the shrimpers just two games behind.

The following are the results and league standings.
