Kenya’s junior Baseball5 team is the new East African regional champions after completing an unbeaten run at the tournament in Kampala, Uganda.
The dominant Kenyan side sealed the title in style, defeating hosts Uganda in straight sets in the final. Kenya stormed to an 11-0 victory in the opening set before wrapping up the championship with an 8-1 win in the second.
The triumph also secures Kenya’s place at the African Baseball5 Championship later this year, with Uganda qualifying as runners-up. The title offers a timely confidence boost as the team intensifies preparations for the Youth Olympic Games in Dakar, Senegal.
