praise His maturity in the air center field aralo eyes makes the catch two [Music] down Chopper to short Vasquez flips and the inning is over Davey Dodges some trouble two nothing Cuba a little Bouncer and Francisco agular makes the play sliced to short Guerrero fires got him but just in case Guerrero shows off his arm right here I thought he caught it in the air but just in case let's just show off that right arm of his basically makes the play twice we saw him pitch yesterday faced a couple hitters and now drives one in the air to Center Raul Hernandez and Thiago satell converge and hopefully they're all right Santiago sell in right center I'll tell you what I've said it all along it's all been about the defense and in the Outfield hitter making out this time ends up getting on base and this is a little bit more pressure right now on Davey bracket looks like this Japan Taiwan hav lost they play tomorrow winner of that one goes straight to the International Championship game Saturday strike three called Davy Hernandez with a big strike out is second tend to hesitate a little B next thing you know he's been throwing a lot of strikes here behind in the count line drive to short and caught by Alejandro Vasquez lose that amount of work two and one kicks away and and Dominic baltis is now 60 ft closer that misses and Carlos Salazar Works a walk it's the second walk of the inning traffic again this inning 2-2 Line Drive caught it short by Vasquez inning over and Taiwan and Japan will square off tomorrow check out this matchup and a couple of teams with so much history here again these are six inning games roller left side Luis Longoria oh great pick at first nicely done by Sergio Gonzalez not proud of it this is Alejandro Vasquez the lead Offman who stings one past the dive of herard cisos a one- out single for Cuba in a game that hasn't had a lot of hits It's about gunar Henderson Davy Hernandez with a chopper in the right field base hit Vasquez wants first to third soell throw on a hop the tag does not get him aggressive base running net second and third for Cuba by Alejandro Vasquez good piece of hitting here DAV Hernandez doing it all on the mound and now with the bat again chops it through commitment completely by Alejandra Vasquez rounding third base and forcing Soo to make the perfect throw what he did against Aruba the three- hiter Leonardo UK watches one to the back stop and Vasquez scores 3 [Music] nothing Guerrero's 1-1 hits hko the 1 oh runs away two and0 hko takes off from first and swipes second second and third one out for then 2-0 to the back stop Davy Hernandez the tag got him throw to third does not get hoko Ortiz immediately knowing it what take a look at this cuz that left foot of his I think it's slid in there and it was and I thought he was safe but Cuba not contesting it because that glove was down there a little bit earlier even if you didn't get the best look at it a play like that may be worth the challenge and now lined in right center field by marloon Herrera to score Leonardo hooko and add a run to make it for zip Cuba two it a nasty breaking ball and he went around Ortiz caps the K of quentes so you got Nevada and Texas in the driver seat they haven't lost winner of that game tomorrow at 3:00 moves right to the US Championship on Saturday afternoon and now a quicker delivery and a roller left side base hit Antonio Guerrero leadoff single for Mexico the second time through 32 on the edge one away eliss Ortiz first bit swinging pops it up marloon Herrera the catcher under it got it two down he made that look easy any foul balls come this way this year no which means we're doe how about you when you've been up at lony uh nervous I faked like I was aggressive on one that I knew wasn't coming our way yesterday oh my gosh it almost right on Q I was going to see I faked that one too you almost went out of the booth were you going to hold on to me yeah but I was a little late I got to be H I wanted it trying to leave a man aboard I almost bit it you're right we almost called that too right I I was ready to call the catch I'm ready we bundled up here by the way you want the mask you want the Gus mask back here yeah sure one two swinging a Miss Davey Hernandez pulls a string and is fired up you're down four you cannot 'll afford to give up more runs roller right side and herard seo's flips and still be within that threshold a roller left side at Luis Longoria onew gas Guerrero with a 1 two three fifth [Music] inning that his son started this community has really wrapped their arms around this man in the months since his son's tragic passing as we get a big hit out here to left field Santiago soel sebbi with a double and so Ricardo is talking about the offensive work that his late son did coaching this team we now send you damy for Florida and New York with [Applause] Ravi all right so it's a strike out of Sergio Gonzalez 22 pull left field struck well and Rodriguez makes the catch it's a sack fly that scores Luis Longoria Mexico's on the board but now two outs in the inning a history making team from Cuba led by their Ace in two Starts Here salutes the crowd the diminutive Lefty is given his all and tonight four and 2/3 one run five strikeouts pitching his heart out again more to pitch briefly last night against Taiwan gets ball de is to pop it up and Cabrera's got it and the ending is over who met here Cuba qualified back in March one way top six one two another one Antonio Guerero has fanned four since he came on in relief bouncer up the middle from arbiz and the throw gets away and Caleb's board it's a two- out base runner for the top of your order because it's almost like having an opener right the pitch did he go no and it's a five pitch walk and the leadoff man's aboard 02 a strike out for zamort one away Sunday against Canada and then another today a roller to short Vasquez bobles recovers out at first Mexico will very likely challenge this from Adan F this is second B ban watch his footwork right here never stops just gets him on the heel I think this one's going to be over turn no question 02 roller back to the mound zamort the second and they get the force for out number two against Denny's zamort first PCH swinging tied boom we talked about it in the open we continue to talk about it Mexico C and yes the same usual suspect [Applause] Antonio remember his name [Applause] Guerrero first pitch why waste any time the pitch was supposed to be outside it leaked out over and he knew it biggest home run so far here at the little leagues 02 to Raul Hernandez comes inside and did it get bat for him he thinks himself and yes and look at this moments after Antonio Guerrero got in The Dugout their fallen coach lost two young at 32 Ricky benavites whose jersey still hangs in their Dugout One Two Ortiz cranks it left Fields it's over Mexico Magic yeah that was unbelievable right there uh partner was awesome
