Cuba takes Cup

Here are the final standings to the tournament.

Cuba beat the Netherlands in the gold medal game 6 - 3 in 11 innings.

Chinese-Taipei beat Japan 4 - 0 to take the bronze.

Japan didn't score a run in the last 2 games. The Cubans seemed to play like mortal men during the last 3. The Dutch team almost came out of nowhere to take it all. Good fun!
