Cuba improved to 5-1 in the IBAF 16U Baseball World Championship and 3-1 in the second round with a 9-2 victory over Australia on Thursday evening at Romo Chavez Stadium in Aguascalientes.

On the mound Jose Pazos (W, 1-0) dominated through seven innings, allowing just one run on five hits and two walks. Areblio Quiros pitched the last two frames to close it out. Michael Gahan (L, 0-1) was charged with the loss, conceding seven hits, eight runs (6 ER) and three base on balls in 3 1/3 innings. After him Bryce Collins and Jason Lott pretty much had the Cuban offense under control.
