Against all odds, Mexico defeated Cuba, 6-4, in a Little League World Series game in Williamsport and remains alive in the competition.
Baseball player Antonio Guerrero hit a three-run homer to tie the game and Ulises Ortiz hit a home run with one out left in the loss, allowing the Matamoros team to make a comeback and leave the Caribbean team in the dust.
Now, Mexico will face Venezuela in the international semifinal of the World Series, hoping to make another splash in the competition.
The tricolor team will have revenge today against the Venezuelans, who gave them their first defeat in the tournament by knockout.
Previously, Venezuela had defeated Aruba 2-1.
Nevada, undefeated
Gunnar Gaudin had two signatures on his cap: Yankees outfielder Jazz Chisholm’s and his own.
“I’m not trying to brag,” Gunnar said, “but I feel like I’m famous.”
When you strike out five batters and don’t walk a single, you’re bound to feel that way. Gunnar pitched a complete game in Nevada’s 3-2 win over Hawaii in the Little League World Series.
Nevada, representing the Mountain Zone — which was formed in 2022 when the series expanded to 20 teams — is one of two unbeaten teams in the impressive U.S. half of the bracket. The other is Texas, which beat Florida 4-1 on Monday. The two unbeaten teams will meet today, with the winner advancing to the semifinals.
“I was ready to pitch and they gave me the ball,” Gunnar said after securing Nevada’s win. “I was really excited to see what I could do and I feel like I executed and we had a good result.”
