From the Federaction Dominicana de Softball, the pools for the upcoming X Pan-American Men’s Softball Championship in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Editor’s note: Sixteen teams in this one, 2 pools of 8. 5 of the 16 teams competed in the 2017 WBSC Men’s World Championship, 3 in Pool A (USA, Venezuela and the Dominican Republic) and 2 in Pool B (Canada and Argentina). Four of those five made it to the Elite 8 Championship round of that tournament (USA, Venezuela, Canada and Argentina).
Santo Domingo is the capital of the Dominican Republic and one of the Caribbean’s oldest cities. Its walled, cobblestoned historic core, the Zona Colonial, has buildings that date to the 1500s, including the cathedral, which was the first built in the New World. On the cafe-lined Plaza de España is the Alcázar de Colón palace. It’s now one of the city’s many museums, displaying notable medieval and Renaissance art.
Founded: 1496
