“We must do our best in the Caribbean Series. We are going to play in the land of the latest world baseball classic champions”, said Roger Machado, manager of Ciego de Avila in Cuba’s national baseball series. His team will represent Cuba February 1^st-7^th in the Dominican Republic.

“It will be a competition where Mexicans will try to avenge the loss against Pinar del Rio in the last edition of the tournament. The other teams will also try to beat us. But we are going to play hard to maintain the winning culture.”

Cuba will debut against the Mexican team, which is supposed to be the champion of the Pacific League that is still in play, as it happens with that of Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and Venezuela.

Machado also commented that “our goal is the same Pinar del Rio had: winning. However, we should still focus on the national baseball series”.

Cuba will not play on day 1. And Ciego de Avila will debut at 15:50 on February 2^nd, and 4^th while on February 3^rd and 5^th our team will play at 19:50.

The Quisqueya Stadium, with 11,379 seats, will host the round robin tournament.
