In a semifinal game at the XXVIII Baseball World Cup, the United States defeated Cuba by the score of 5-3.
Lucas Herrel, who came to pitch for the Americans in the second inning gave an outstanding performance: he pitched four complete innings and did not alow a single Cuban to score a run. He dominated Cuba totally. The Cuban bats fell silent.
U.S.A. has qualified for the final championship game as the home team. It is yet to be decided who the visitor team will be. If Cuba ends up in first place of Group 1, then it will face its nemesis again.
Maikel Folch was the losing pitcher for Cuba. He has two wins and one loss.
Cuba will play Canada tomorrow. They are both 4-2.
Box score and play by play.
