2007 World Port Tournament

The 2007 World Port Tournament was the 11th World Port Tournament and the seventh won by the Cuban national team. It was held from August 2 through August 12, 2007. In the Gold Medal game, Cuba beat the Taiwan national team 2-0 behind the pitching of Yadel Martí and Yulieski González as Hector Olivera scores the game's only two runs. Taiwan (4-5) finished second, followed by the USA (4-4), Netherlands (4-4) and Japan (0-8). It was one of the best World Port Tournaments as Cuba sent a strong team instead of a "B" squad and the US sent their college national team, full of top prospects.
