The Santa Clara Bombarderos baseball team, participants in the Little League World Series, will be welcomed this Monday in their city.

Starting at 8:00 p.m., one of the main streets of the Villa Clara capital will be temporarily blocked while the team moves from Plaza del Che to Parque Vidal.

They are two spaces that are part of the symbolism of the Cuban government in the city of Santa Clara, which is why they are calling on the population to attend this event.

The Cuban little leaguers said goodbye last Tuesday, August 20, to the Little League World Series (LLWS) held in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, after surprisingly losing to the "little" representatives from Matamoros, Mexico.

After entering the last inning with a four-to-one lead, the Aztec team only needed this inning to surpass the Cubans, 6-4, at Volunteer Stadium.

Two home runs, one with two runners on base and another driving in two runs, thwarted Cuba's hopes of continuing their path in this World Series.

On Sunday, the Lake Mary Stars, representing Florida, were crowned champions of the World Series after defeating Chinese Taipei, 2-1.

After being dominated by the Taiwanese for five innings, Florida sent the game to extra innings when they were down to their last out and then secured victory in the eighth with an impressive bunt.

This victory for the team from the Lake Mary suburb in Orlando is the first of nine participations in a LLWS final by teams from Florida.

Previously, the team from Venezuela, representing Latin America, had defeated Texas for third place, 4 runs to 3.
