U-19 national softball tilt slated April in Batangas

Meanwhile, the Philippine Blu Girls have finished fourth in the recent Women’s Softball Asia Cup in China. They were set to battle for third place, but inclement weather forced the cancellation of the playoffs. The organizers relied instead on the final team standings, and the Philippines unfortunately was fourth, a spot short of qualifying outright for the World Cup. Nevertheless, the team, supported mightily by Cebuana Lhuillier, is optimistic that things will get even better.
