The attack of the Cuban team —who took revenge for their three consecutive losses to the Asians at the recently concluded World Port Tournament of Rotterdam, Holland— was led by left-fielder Frederich Cepeda who went 2 for 4 with two homeruns and fours RBIs.

Second baseman Hector Olivera and first baseman Jose Dariel Abreu also homered for the Caribbean cause while right hander Vladimir Garcia took the win and Vicyohandry Odelin saved the game.

In their first game of the tournament on Saturday, Cuba edged the Japan Toshiba Baseball team 4-3.

On Monday, Cuba faces the Beijing Tigers, a game that had to be postponed last Friday due to the rain.

Also participating in the competition are the Bahamas and the Canada National Team.
