MADRID, 22 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish women’s softball team achieved this Saturday the fifth position of Group B in the World Cup, which is taking place in Valencia, thanks to its 5-0 victory against South Africa, although with the bitterness of not having fought to get into the Finals next summer.
With no chance of playing the playoffs in Group B of the tournament, due to the combination of results from the day before, Spain had to settle for fifth place in front of their fans. And he certified it thanks to the races carried out by the Valencian Yulan Denia, María Caicoya (2), Anna Sobrino and Carla Segura.
Located in 12th place in the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) ranking, the Spanish team had a great opportunity in this contest to endorse their improvement in recent years. Despite everything, his progression would still be interrupted, since baseball and softball will not be part of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
In the Municipal Baseball and Softball Camp of Valencia, the teams from China and Puerto Rico will fight for the direct ticket to the Finals of this World Cup. The loser of said match will have the option of getting another place in the Finals via playoffs, against whoever wins the duel between the teams of Cuba and the Netherlands.
