For all the marbles!

Cuba advanced to the championship game of the XXXVIII Baseball World Cup by defeating Canada 5-1 yesterday. Cuba will be the visiting team and U.S.A. will be the home team. The championship game will be played at Stadio Steno Borghese, Nettuno, Italy, on Sunday.

The winning pitcher in Cuba's win over the Canadians was Yulieski "My Cousin" Gonzalez, who went eight innings and struck out ten batters and gave four bases on balls. He only allowed two hits and one earned run. His record at the tournament is now 3-0.

Alfredo Despaigne collected his tenth home run of the tournament.

GO CUBA!
