Havana, December 1 (RHC)-- The Cuban under-23 baseball team competing in the First Pan American Youth Games Cali-Valle 2021 will seek this Wednesday to advance to the final of the tournament, which is being held in Barranquilla, Colombia.

The team coached by Eriel Sanchez reached the final after defeating Venezuela, current world champion, with a 3×0 score, with excellent pitching by right-hander Jose Eduardo Santos and the offensive leadership of Pedro Pablo Revilla.

With this result, the Antilleans led the B key, closing the group phase with two wins and one loss, and will now face the locals.

In order to achieve this goal, the Cuban mentor must send to the Edgar Rentería stadium his main trump card, left-hander Naykel Cruz, although almost the entire pitching staff will be ready.

The other semifinal is between the Dominican Republic and Venezuela.
