The island’s team beat the Turkish team in two very different sets, the first one tight and then by knockout in only four innings, a success that maintained its unbeaten pace in three outings on the field during the preliminary stage of the tournament.

On the previous day, the Cuban boys defeated China and Zambia, in both cases by a 2-0 sweep.

The Cuban youngsters will complete the second day of competition with a match against Tunisia, a team that also won its first two matches and looks to be a more demanding opponent.
