“The team’s strong performance in the competition is a testament to how Filipinos can excel in softball. With the Blu Boys as their role models, I hope that more young Filipinos will take up the sport,†said Jean Henri Lhuillier, president of the Amateur Softball Association of the Philippines (ASAPHIL).
The Blu Boys started their campaign by toppling Bedford of Australia, 10-9, before succumbing to New Zealand, 1-5. They quickly redeemed themselves with a string of wins against New Zealand, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
