The Philippine men’s baseball team continued its winning ways after a nerve-wracking 4-2 win over Hong Kong to remain unscathed at the conclusion of the super round of the 14th East Asia Baseball Cup Saturday, Nov. 2, at The Villages in Clark, Pampanga.

Before their final showdown this Sunday, Nov. 3, the Filipino batters flashed a glimpse of what they are capable of, frustrating the Hong Kong bets thanks to Clarence Caasalan, who got the better of their rivals off his superb pitching.

With its triumph, the Philippines earned a pristine 3-0 record and became the lone undefeated in the tournament.

The reigning champion and host country goes for its fifth straight crown when it clashes against Hong Kong again in the championship round set at 11 a.m.

On the other hand, Singapore and Thailand duke it out in their battle-for-third which fires off at 10 a.m.
