The Double-A Superior Baseball semifinal series will continue this Friday at 8 p.m. with the sixth game in both brackets of the Final Four.

The Juncos Mulos and the Patillas Leones are leading their respective series 3-2 and are one win away from advancing to the final series for the national championship.

In the A semifinal, the Mulos will host the San Sebastián Patrulleros at Mariano “Niní” Meaux Stadium. Left-hander Luis Cintrón will take the mound for Juncos, while Anthony Borrero will start for San Sebastián.

In the B semifinal, the Leones will visit the Salinas Peces Voladores (Flying Fish) at Manuel González Stadium. Patillas will have left-hander Ryan Muñoz, undefeated in the series, on the mound while Salinas will start right-hander Yadier Rolón. Star Edgar Morales will not pitch for Salinas due to elbow discomfort.

If necessary, the deciding games will be played on Saturday in Patillas and Sunday in San Sebastián. Tickets are available at EventosPR.com, and the games will be broadcast on WIPR.
