BASEBALL WORLD CUP 5 2024 – For the second edition of this competition, the French team enhanced its great week with a bronze medal.
A variant of Baseball played indoors, Baseball 5 is a young discipline in which France stands out. Whether it’s a European vice-champion title or a silver medal at the Youth World Cup, the Blues are performing well. Eliminated in the groups during the first edition of the World Cup in 2022, the French senior team intended to do better during the second, which took place this week in Hong Kong.
History is written
The group stage went impeccably, with four wins in five matches. But from the start of the Super Round, a defeat against Venezuela practically buried the chances of the final, and despite a clear and flawless success over Chinese Taipei, gold was officially inaccessible before the last group match – lost – against Cuba . From then on, it remained to play for bronze… against Venezuela. Enough to provide the ideal fuel for the Blues.
And this will lead to a clear and flawless victory. From the first round, won 3-1, the Blues demonstrated superiority with two points for the only Amber Brouard. Affected by morale, the South Americans easily surrendered in the second, won 7-2during which the whole team will contribute to validate a great victory 2-0which therefore offers France a bronze medal, the first in this recent discipline, but official supplier of good results and charms for France.
