The confirmed absence of the Dominican Republic team from the II Caribbean Cup U-15 baseball in Nassau, Bahamas, was announced on Thursday.
During an extraordinary COPABE meeting this morning, the schedule was adjusted to prevent holding two qualifying rounds, ensuring the tournament concludes on the originally planned date of December 9.
For this reason, the updated schedule features the following games:
December 5
2 pm, Cuba vs. Sint Maarten
7 pm, Bahamas vs. US Virgin Islands
December 6
2 pm, Sint Maarten vs. US Virgin Islands
7 pm, Cuba vs. Bahamas
December 7
Semifinals
4 vs. 1 and 3 vs. 2
December 8
Day of rest
December 9
2 pm, Bronze Game (Among the losers of December 7)
7 pm, Gold Game (Among the winners of December 7)
The tournament commenced this Wednesday, even though the Dominican Republic was absent due to issues with their players' airline tickets. Cuba achieved a 12-0 victory over the US Virgin Islands, and the Bahamas defeated Sint Maarten 33-0.
The inaugural U-15 Caribbean Baseball Cup took place in 2022 in Santo Domingo, where the host team, the Dominican Republic, emerged victorious.
