2009-2010 Cuban National League
From BR Bullpen
The 49th Serie Nacional kicked off on November 1, 2009. One big theme was financial problems, which caused the league to resort to a schedule loaded with day games to save on electric costs.
On November 3, Santiago de Cuba's Alexei Bell became the first Cuban leaguer to hit two grand slams in one inning; he set a new single-inning record with 8 RBI and tied the single-game record of 12 RBI. Only three prior Cuban leaguers had hit two grand slams in a game. Also that day, Pedro Luis Lazo became the first pitcher to 250 wins in Cuba.
Dainer Moreira of the Indios de Guantánamo tied the Cuban Serie Nacional record with six hits in a nine-inning game, on November 13.
