It was a triumphant day 3 for the RP Blu Boys as they faced off against their remaining opponent, Hong Kong at the Mens Softball Asia Cup 2023 held at Kochi, Japan on Tuesday.
The Cebuana Lhuillier-backed Philippine team was able to bounce back from yesterday's lackluster performance and sweep their regular match final opponent with a stellar 8-0 score. The trio of Leo Barredo, Lyones de Leon, and Kenneth Torres was the main driving force behind the triumph.
Amateur Softball Association of the Philippines (ASAPHIL) President Jean Henri Lhuillier stated, "The team has given us nothing but pride and hope that we can once again reach the World Cup! We are now more determined than ever to give it our best”.
Tomorrow (Wednesday), the RP Blu Boys are set to take the field against Hong Kong again with the victor earning a bronze medal and an outright ticket to the World Cup.
Japan and Singapore will also battle it out tomorrow (Wednesday) to determine which country gets the gold medal and silver medal as both have already secured their spots in the World Cup.-Marlon Bernardino-
