Cuba concluded its run at the U-18 Pan American Baseball Championship in fourth place after losing to Puerto Rico (2-3) in the bronze medal game held this Sunday at Rod Carew Stadium in Panama City, Panama.
According to the digital site JIT, the team managed by Michael González showed a lackluster offense in the matchup, managing only four singles and failing to capitalize on the nine walks given up by the opposing pitchers.
The Puerto Ricans, meanwhile, took advantage of the four errors committed by the Cuban defense, scoring three unearned runs against the starting – and losing – pitcher César Morales.
Despite the loss, the largest island in the Antilles secured a spot in the category’s world tournament, a feat not achieved since 2017.
“We would have liked to return to Cuba with a medal,” catcher Yadier Ruíz told the aforementioned publication.
