RP Blu Boys Secure Bronze Medal, Qualify for World Cup By Marlon Bernardino PhilBoxing.com Wed, 28 Jun 2023 It was a stellar performance by the RP Blu Boys at Wednesday's bronze medal bout as they defeated Hong Kong at the 2023 Men's Softball Asia Cup held at Kochi, Japan. The Cebuana Lhuillier-backed Philippine team exerted their dominance over their HK counterparts scoring a 7-0 win, earning them the bronze and the coveted ticket to the World Cup. Japan and Singapore will meet for the gold. Amateur Softball Association of the Philippines (ASAPHIL) President Jean Henri Lhuillier was beaming with pride with the third place finish: “We are more than proud of our boys as they showed how passion can lead to victory! Their hard work definitely paid off and we are more than glad to support them as they prepare for the World Cup." The national team is composed of John Israel Antonio, Jerome Bacarisas, Leo Barredo, Denmark Bathan, Melvin de Castro, Lyonas de Leon, Juliuz de la Cruz, Mark Janzen Gaspi, Francis Generoso, John Norwen Lucas, Efril Ian Mercado, Micheal Pagkaliwagan, Reagan Parco, Gerone Riparir, Justine John Rosales and Kenneth Torres. The coaches are Jasper Cabrera and Isidro Abella. With the inclusion of the Blu Boys, Asaphil will now send four teams in the World Cup organized by the World Baseball Softball Confederation as the Philippines earlier qualified in the Women's Softball World Cup, the Co-Ed Slow Pitch Softball World Cup and the Women's Under-15 World Cup.-Marlon Bernardino- Click here to view a list of other articles written by Marlon Bernardino.  |
