Cuba beat Australia 5 to 3 at the preparatory meet held in Taichung, China Taipei, prior to the 3rd World Classic Championship, slated for March.

The Cuban team took the lead in the second inning after scoring a homerun, but it allowed the Australians to take the advantage with two runs in the second chapter.

The islanders tied the game in the fifth inning, but the Australians took the lead again. In that back and forth fight, Cuba scored another three runs in the seventh inning, which guaranteed its victory.

Pitcher Vladimir Garcia kept the pace of the Cuban team without allowing any other hit during the game.

The Cubans will take training on Wednesday and Thursday before participating in their third of five games scheduled for them in China Taipei, and they will travel to Japan on February 25 for the last preparatory stage towards the Classics. (ACN).
