After yesterday’s debut in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia moves to Barranquilla to play its second Group A match against Puerto Rico. This will be their first match in this age group.

First pitch at 7 p.m.
To close the day in Cartagena, the Netherlands and Mexico will face each other at 7 p.m. Both teams finished their games yesterday before seven innings, Mexico won in five, the Netherlands lost in six.
