MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Blu Boys are going to the World Cup.
The Blu Boys made this a reality after making the finals of the 11th Men’s Softball Asia Cup in Kochi, Japan recently.
While the country lost to a mighty Japan, 9-2, in the finale, it didn’t dampen the mood of the Filipinos who booked a seat to the prestigious World Cup slated November in Auckland, New Zealand.
The country accomplished the feat by smashing India, 8-1, in the super round.
The Apol Rosales-mentored Blu Boys earlier overcame heartbreaking defeats to Japan, 7-0, and 2019 Southeast Asian Games tormentor Singapore, 6-5, regrouping and bouncing back to claim a spot to the world joust.
