In the Under-23 World Cup!!
Cuba this afternoon -- Sept. 28-2021 -- defeated the Dominican Republic 6-to-2 in the Under-23 World Cup Baseball Tournament in Ciudad Obregon, Mexico.
With today's strong 6-2 win over the Dominican Republic, Cuba now has 4 wins against one loss in the 12-nation U-23 World Cup in Mexico. Cuba has defeated Germany, Czech Republic, Chinese Taiwan, and the Dominican Republic. The only Cuba loss so far was to host Mexico.
The Standings show the four teams that are 4-and-1 in the U-23 Baseball World Cup in Mexico. And those four top teams -- Cuba, Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela -- as shown above now advance to the Super Round Finals, as baseball-loving Cubans in Cuba rejoice.
Cuban coaches and players are shown above today after beating the Dominican Republic 6-to-2 to advance to the Super Finals of the 12-nation U-23 World Cup in Mexico. Cuba took 24 players to the important event but six players quickly defected. Of course, early this year when Cuba went to South Florida to play in the pre-Olympic Qualifying event, a running car was waiting and whisked Cuba's best player to places unknown. In such events, Cuba is the only nation subjected to such hubris and greed. The current U-23 World Cup in Mexico showcases a plethora of under-23 baseball prospects and as usual this Cuban team, despite the six defections, still has super prospects such as 19-year-old outfielder Chapelle Zuluela, 19-year-old catcher Perez Garcia-Garcia, 20-year-old First Baseman and Clean-up hitter Guillermo Garcia, 21-year-old lefty pitcher Cruz Zaldivar who beat the Dominican Republic today, etc., etc.
LASTLY on September 28th-2021:
In Havana Manuel Porto -- an ultra-acclaimed actor of theater, film, and television -- has died on his 76th Birthday because of COVID-19. The beloved Manuel Porto was born in his beloved Havana back in 1945.
For sure, Manuel Porto will be remembered in Cuba as a great actor, a great man, and a great lover of Cuba, especially Havana.
