Brazilian baseball team beats Venezuela at the Pan American Games in Santiago

The debut of the Brazilian baseball team at the Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile, was a highly positive surprise. This Thursday (19), Brazil defeated Venezuela 3-1 and took the lead in group B, which also includes Colombia and Cuba.

Brazil – which has no tradition in the sport – returned to play a match at the Pan after 16 years. The last time was in 2007, when it was the host country for the Pan held in Rio de Janeiro. In Guadalajara (2011), Toronto (2015) and Lima (2019), he was left out.

Venezuela, although it didn't have the best, is a world power in the sport. Some names from the country play in the MLB, the United States league, considered the best on the planet. The country has one gold and two bronze medals in baseball at the Pan American Games. However, he arrived in Santiago with a team considered to be on the second shelf that Venezuela has at its disposal.

Publicity

In the debut duel, Brazil took a 3-0 lead in the second inning, Venezuela reduced the deficit in the fifth inning but were unable to avoid defeat.

After the triumph, pitcher Felipe Natel, known as Pelé, spoke about his expectations for the tournament.

“We came preparing for the Pan to win a medal. And to do so, we knew we would have to face powers like Venezuela, Cuba and Colombia. It wasn't surprising at all. People didn't even celebrate that much, because our goal is a medal. We want to beat everyone and we will win this medal for Brazilian baseball”, said the player, in a statement to the Brazilian Olympic Committee (COB).

Brazil's next match is against Colombia, on Sunday (22).
