Baseball Cup
The Cuban national baseball team won its Friday match versus Italy 9-0 and kept undefeated in three matches in the Intercontinental Baseball Cup in Chinese Taipei.

Cuban pitchers Norge Luis Vera, Yuniesky Maya, Yadel Marti and Pedro Luis Lazo combined their efforts to leave the Italian team with only 3 hits, while Cuba hit 16 times, the biggest production of the team up to now.

The match in the Intercontinental Park in Taichung had its decision in the 4th inning, with two outs, combining a walk and a double by Cuban rightfielder Yoandry Urgelles, before Italian starter Roberto Corradini, who lost the match.

One inning after, there were three runs more, combining three hits and an error of the Italian team s defense, then two more in the 7th, and three more in the 9th.

The next match for the Cuban team will be Sunday against Philippines, which is considered the weakest team in the Cuban team s group.
