Which put a stop to the winning streak that Puerto Rico had been riding. The right-handed pitcher secured the victory with three hits, one walk, and five strikeouts over five innings, which led to his being awarded the Most Valuable Player of the Championship later on.

“We kept improving in all facets of the game as the tournament progressed, defense being the key, but the offensive and pitching were enough to win the trophy,” said Carlos Torres, the manager of Venezuela’s baseball team. “The key was defense,” he added.

In the final two innings of their game against Cuba, Mexico came back from being down 4-0 to win 9-5 and secure the bronze medal for their team.
