She debuted against Taiwan, relieving Isabel Gonzalez in the 4th with a 6-1 deficit, two out and one on. She allowed a RBI single to Chia-Yu Lin then got Wen-Ching Hsieh on a fly. She whiffed Yu-Chuang Tu and Chia-Hui Yang in a scoreless 5th but 3 of the first 4 reached in the 6th and Yanet Cruz took over; Yoannet was charged with two runs (one earned). She went the distance (4 H, 4 BB, 4 K) to beat France's Cassandra Vigneau but lost to Ayami Sato and Japan when she allowed 8 hits, 4 walks and 8 runs (7 earned) in 2 2/3 IP; Marian Verdecia relieved. She had Cuba's only win and only Cruz had more innings pitched.
