In a rematch of last summer’s Copa del Rey finals Baseball Navarra hosts the Tenerife Marlins Puerto Cruz this weekend in the Spanish Division de Honor. Navarra started 1-3 into the new season and lost twice in the ninth inning to CB Sant Boi last weekend. The Marlins are 4-0 thanks to a sweep in Viladecans and the no-show of the Sevilla Red Sox. Juan Jose Lopez and Andres Casado are expected as starting pitchers for Navarra, Leslie Nacar and Yoel Hernandez for the Marlins.
