The champion of this tournament will access the Pan American Games that will be held in the Chilean capital, between October and November.
The Argentine team, led by coach Darío Martín and seeking its fourth participation in the Pan American Games after Buenos Aires 1951, Mar del Plata 1995 and Lima 2019, made eleven races today over the four of their opponent.
This Qualifier, which will run until Wednesday, was originally to be held in Mexico, but after it declined to host, the event that provided four places for Santiago 2023 remained vacant.
Therefore, the Argentine Federation proposed to the Pan American Baseball Confederation to hold a tournament with places at stake for the Pan American competition.
The entire tournament is held with free admission for the public and the Argentine matches are broadcast live on the public sports signal, Deportv.
