The Venezuelan men’s under-23 baseball team lost its first game of the World Cup Super Round to the world’s number one team, Japan, by a score of 5 to 1.
Venezuela, which is competing in a world championship being held in China, took an early lead with a run scored by Pedro Martinez who went 1-for-3 with a run scored. But Venezuela could only get two hits against the Asian pitchers, reported Guillermo Yaber Llanos, head of press for the local federation that governs the sport (Fevebeisbol).
Brayan Medina lost in 2.2 innings of work in which he allowed three hits, allowed two earned runs, giving up four walks and striking out five opponents.

Venezuela has a 1-2 record in the Super Round (because the results left against its rivals in this phase in the first stage are taken into account) and is tied with Korea in the last position that gives access to the Medal Round, but with the advantage of having surpassed them in the direct duel.
Venezuela now has to compete against the host of the event, China, and Puerto Rico, which remains undefeated in the event, so winning both matches is essential to get into the battle for the medals.
The team led by Robert Pérez will have the challenge of getting back on the podium, which they have already achieved in the 2018 and 2021 editions.
