Philippines Triumphs with Fifth Consecutive East Asia Baseball Cup Title

Sunday in Pampanga marked the end of an amazing run in which the squad defeated Hong Kong 9-2 in the gold medal final. Apart from proving the Philippines’ perfect performance in the regional baseball event, this triumph showed their dominance in East Asian baseball.

The Philippines succeeds in the lower rounds thanks in great part to this intense competition as their consistency and skill transcend even in the toughest games.

Rising in the baseball scene, the Philippines comes in at 27th in the world. Having earned medals in 2012, 2013, 2015, and 2017, this fifth consecutive East Asia Baseball Cup victory adds still another chapter to their already rich legacy in the game.
