Coach Rob Cooper's club lost to Cuban powerhouse, Industriales, by a 2-1 score in the first game, which is an impressive feat in itself. Then, the team took home the first victory for a United States team at any level over a Cuban National Series team."[This win] is something that [our guys] will be able to talk about for the rest of their lives," said Penn State head coach Rob Cooper. The first game was played against Industriales, a team considered baseball royalty in Cuba.
