Cuba volvió a acreditarse dos victorias para junto a Francia marchar como los únicos elencos invictos del torneo



Una esperada mayor rivalidad encontró Cuba en la segunda jornada de la I Copa Mundial Juvenil de Baseball5, cuando este miércoles disputó otros dos encuentros dentro del Grupo A del torneo, que tiene como sede a la municipalidad de Yenimahalle en Ankara, Turquía.


Pero el resultado fue el mismo, dos importantes victorias con triunfos en ambas series al mejor de tres, 2-0, ante sus rivales, que les permitió asegurar el primer lugar dentro del Grupo A del evento, al menos 24 horas antes de que concluya la etapa clasificatoria del torneo.


A primera hora tocó el turno al país sede, Turquía, que terminó cayendo 6-4 - en el resultado más cerrado de los antillanos en el torneo - y 10-0, este último por la vía del KO beisbolero en 4 entradas. Las victorias en la serie al mejor en tres choques les dio a los de la isla un 2-0 y el tercer triunfo en la tabla de posiciones del torneo.




El segundo enfrentamiento de la jornada, contra el rival más difícil del Grupo, Tunisia, vio el mismo resultado de 2-0, tras triunfos cubanos de 8-0 y 9-6.


En busca de mantener el invicto, los cubanos saldrán mañana jueves desde las 10:30 am (hora de Cuba y el Este de los EEUU) a enfrentar a Malasia.


Como primeros del Grupo A, Cuba iniciará el viernes la Súper Ronda, en donde comenzarán jugando ante el primer lugar del Grupo B, Francia, en un duelo posiblemente de invictos y que bien pudiera repetirse en la final del torneo.


Precisamente Francia hoy obtuvo dos triunfos claves para, al igual que Cuba, mantener marca de 4-0 y asegurar la primera posición del Grupo B. Los franceses derrotaron primero al #1 del mundo, China Taipei, por 2-0, con marcadores de 10-4 y 2-0. Poco después dispusieron de Corea del Sur, esta vez 2-1, con derrota de 2-4 en el primer juego pero triunfos sucesivos de 5-4 y 6-0.


El propio viernes los cubanos volverán a jugar otro choque, cuando enfrenten al tercer lugar del Grupo B.


Un día después los puestos finales de la Súper Ronda quedarán definidos, cuando todos los elencos jueguen sus últimos encuentros con Cuba enfrentando al segundo lugar del Grupo B.


Tras concluída la Súper Ronda, los dos mejores lugares disputarán la medalla de oro el domingo desde las 8:00 am (hora de Cuba y el Este de los EEUU), mientras a las 4:00 am será la disputa por el tercer lugar.
