The Cuban sub 10 team won the silver medal in the Pan American Championship in Culiacán, Mexico, after falling 5-1 in the final against the hosts, in a match played at the Gloria Borrego Parque Constitución stadium.

It was the third time that Professor Walter Chávez’s criollitos faced the Aztecs in the tournament, and after a victory for each side in the qualifying phase, they could not win the one that would give them the crown.

Our little ones were the sensation for those sister lands from the very first day they went out on the field, and although they never had the chance to play night games here in Cuba, they fought with integrity in that environment before the owners of the house, who were supported throughout time for his fans.

It was in the fourth inning when the Mexicans, after being dominated for three innings by starter Rydel Pérez, combined a costly error by waiter Humberto Alfonso with a double and three hits to get him and his replacement Jonathan Valdivieso out of the box, and manufacturing a four-race cluster that was enough to take the victory.

The Antilleans did not deliver flags and responded at the end of that inning by blowing up pitcher José “El Torito” Garcia with three consecutive singles to discount one on the board, but a high-carat relief pitcher from lefty José Pablo Camargo put out the fire.

One more in the last entry to the account of the rescuer Aniel Ramírez was the coup de grace of the friends, while ours remained waiting for the cavalry that never arrived, despite several skirmishes that did not come to fruition.

This result, despite the final disaster, will be kept in the chest of baseball joys this year 2022, where the sub 15 team occupy a space with their world silver medal and the Baseball 5 warriors, who were crowned at the event of the world also celebrated in the country of mariachis and rancheras.

The recognition for the management group, and for that giant that responds to the name of Antonio Muñoz who, according to what a member of the coaching staff told Tribuna de La Habana, was a fundamental piece in the games for the advice, trust, and security , which he knew how to transmit to those children at all times.

Congratulations runners-up!
