HAVANA, Cuba, March 13 (acn) Yulieski Gourriel, Ariel Pestano and Frederich Cepeda belted a homerun apiece to help Cuba cruise to a 16-4 win over Mexico in seven innings on Thursday night at the Foro Sol stadium in Mexico City to secure the top spot in Pool B of the 2009
World Baseball Classic (WBC).
Pestano and Cepeda each hit three-run homers in a nine-run seventh inning rally to lead Cuba to a win by the mercy rule while Gourriel hit a two-run homer in a five-run fourth and finished with four RBIs.
"Mexico and Cuba ... it was a tough game, we had to play to win it, but at the same time, we needed to keep our pitchers fresh because we were both thinking in the next round," Cuban manager Higinio Velez said.
Left-hander Yulieski Gonzalez gave up one hit and one run with three strikeouts and two walks in two innings of relief for Cuba to take the win.
Cuba finished the first round undefeated in three games while Mexico dropped to 2-2.

Venezuelan Parliamentarian Thanks Cuba for its Solidarity
HAVANA, Cuba, Mar 13 (acn) In a message to the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, Venezuelan indigenous parliamentarian Dalia Herminia Yanes, summarized on Thursday her gratitude for Cuba's permanent solidarity with her country.
From my homeland, I send greetings to the historical leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, and to his representatives, who have given us their support and solidarity in important social missions like Barrio Adentro and Robinson, stated the deputy in Venezuela's National
Parliament in Caracas, Prensa Latina news agency reports.
Yanes participated in a news conference, during which she expressed her gratitude for the multiple ways in which Cuba has cooperated with the Bolivarian Revolution in social sectors, mainly in education and health.
"These are advances we have had with our President, Hugo Chávez", added the legislator shortly before entering the ordinary session of the Indigenous Parliament of the Americas and the Venezuelan Parliamentary Group, which will run until Friday.
Both nations have a wide gamut of cooperation projects, under the umbrella of the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (ALBA), based on solid principles of solidarity and complementariness.
These accords have a diametrically different essence compared to the ones Washington has tried to impose on the region over the last few years, under the label of Free Trade Area for The Americas (FTAA) or its individual versions with countries in the area, called Free Trade
Agreements.
