South American Baseball hits BA


Reporting for The Shankee Press - Jack Green

The tenth edition of the South American Baseball Championship kicks off this Saturday at the Estadio Nacional de Beisbol in Ezeiza; with Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador and Peru all looking to win the title.

The event gathers each nation’s best players and coaches, some of which have MLB experience, in a week long competition. Brazil was the first to host this South American Championship back in 1957, and defeated Argentina and Peru in a two day tournament.

Argentina, one of the founding members of the South American Baseball Confederation, won in 2004 and look to repeat in front of the local crowd. Good food, cold drinks, and a week of baseball await at the legendary Estadio Nacional de Beisbol.

Opening Ceremony at Saturday 2:00 pm. / Argentina vs. Peru 3:00 pm. Check Liga Metro homepage (www.beisbolmetro.com.ar) for full program.
