17/06/2020
Cuba lost their first two games of the U-12 Baseball World Cup 2019 then won six straight to cruise to the bronze medal game against Asian giants Korea.

Cuba fell to Chinese Taipei and Japan in their first two games of the WBSC U-12 Baseball World Cup 2019. After that, they went on a six-game win streak that started in group play and finished in the Super Round, thus qualifying for the bronze medal game as the number three seed.

Korea finished first in the opening round, suffering their only loss to Venezuela. They lost to Chinese Taipei and Japan in the Super Round, but did enough to make it to the final day.

Cuba and Korea took the field at the Tainan Asia-Pacific International Stadium on 4 August.
Alejandro Prieto took the mound for Cuba and home plate umpire Tsukada Atsuo called 'play ball'.

Korea handed the ball to Lee Jaejun in the bottom half of the first.

The third-place game would turn into an emotional pitching duel, filled with drama from start to finish.
