This is a real hot ball. Very hot. Literally. In the midst of a merciless sun, at a temperature of 33 degrees (45 degrees thermal sensation) and a humidity of 70%, the Mexican team defeated South Africa by knockout 13-1, this Friday at the start of the U-15 Baseball World Cup at the Édgar Rentería stadium in Barranquilla.

The game started at 10:30, with more scouts from the Major League teams than spectators in the stands (difficult at that time and with that temperature). Although there were some fans from both countries.
The Aztecs imposed their superiority and baseball tradition on a South African team with good character and desire, but without the spark and potential of their opponent.

From the very first episode, the Aztec team began to take advantage of their rival’s ingenuity and exploit their virtues to bring the score to 3-0.
Starting pitcher Baariq Hermans took the loss, walking five batters and allowing three hits and three runs in one and a third inning. Of his 50 pitches, only 20 were strikes.

Jean Paul Louw gave the Africans hope with a goal that Luca Terry Orgill brought to the plate, but as the match progressed the draw became too far away and that point ultimately proved to be the winning point.
