Panama defeats Dominican Republic in U18 Baseball Super Round
Panama secured a 6-2 victory over the Dominican Republic to open the Super Round of the WBSC U18 Pan American Baseball Championship held at the IPL Academy in Guerra, Dominican Republic. Daniel Long led the Panamanian offense with a triple that drove in three runs, while pitcher Abel Rodríguez earned the win, allowing only one earned run over four innings.
The Dominican Republic's scoring came from Leanders Matos, who crossed the plate twice following walks and hits from teammates. Despite the loss, the Dominican Republic advances to the Super Round as the second seed of Group A with a 2-1 record.
The tournament serves as a qualifier for the 2027 U18 Baseball World Cup in China, with four spots available. Other notable results from the preliminary stages include the United States finishing Group A undefeated (3-0) and Cuba being eliminated from the competition after a 5-0 loss to Nicaragua.
