It wasn’t pretty, but it is a win. Cuba got a little bit payback for the loss against Curacao last Friday, shutting out the same opponent 1-0 on Wednesday at the World Port Tournament in Rotterdam. A sac fly by Yordanis Samon in the bottom of the seventh was the difference in the game. On the mound Dalier Honajosa (W) showed off his talent, allowing just one hit and two walks in 7 1/3 scoreless innings. Yadier Pedroso allowed another hit in the ninth to complete the two-hitter. Raydel Isabella (L) issued one run on eight hits in eight innings.
