The Under-18 and Under-23 preselection teams of our country lead the «Eddy Martín Sánchez» In Memoriam Baseball Cup, which is proceeding with complete success at the José Ramón Cepero stadium in Ciego de Ávila.

This Tuesday, on the second day of competition, the Under-18 novices managed by Abeisy Pantoja defeated Ciego Azul 6-4 with an offensive of 9 hits despite their three errors in the field, a department they will have to improve ahead of the World Championship in Japan as they have committed 8 miscues in just two games.

For its part, the Under-23 pre-selection continues to excel at bat and manufactured 15 runs today, totalling 28 in two games, this time against Ciego Rojo, with standout performance from Santiago outfielder Raidel Sánchez with two home runs.

This Wednesday, the national teams will play against each other and the Avilanian combined teams will also play.
