HAVANA, Cuba, Jul 6 (acn) The Cuban national team and the US college squad will hold today the fourth game of their friendly baseball match at Bill Coleman Field, in North Carolina.
The Americans already won the match, as they beat Cubans in the previous three appearances and there are only two games left.
The Caribbean side, managed by Roger Machado, suffers a serious offensive slump as only SS Raul Gonzalez highlights in this aspect by hitting 5 for 12.
The remaining players in the lineup have been completely silenced by US pitchers at the point that they have only batted 6 hits in 76 at bats, for an anemic 0.76 BA.
Today´s Cuban starting pitcher could be right-hander Dachel Duquesne, who must take special care of SS and leadoff hitter Nick Madrigal, who averages .345 and has stolen five bases in an equal amount of attempts.
Americans have won four of the five series since they were resumed in 2013, achieving 16 wins and 12 losses.
