Metropolitanos Beat Phantoms, 7-3, at Estadio Latinoamericano
The 7-3 Havana win over Chicago was due largely to Xadreque Esperana. The Metropolitanos right fielder was 2-4 with 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Jeans Rabasa notched his 7th save in 10 chances. The win for the Metropolitanos lifted their record to 54-43.

The Metropolitanos got a big at-bat from designated hitter Pete Silver. For the game, Silver went 1 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the fourth, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 22nd home run of the season gave Havana a 2-1 lead.

"I'm proud of the way we took care of business and got the 'W' today," Silver told the Havana Daily. "Whatever it takes."
