Teams from 15 countries, including the United States, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and host Puerto Rico, have descended upon the city in an effort to earn qualifying berths into the 2014 Central American and Caribbean Games in Veracruz, Mexico, the 2014 World Cup of Softball in Haarlem, Netherlands, and the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto. This is the first time Puerto Rico has hosted the event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"c24\">While the Classic certainly has broad international appeal, it is a more local flare that brings word of the event to Albany\u2019s attention. <a class=\"biolink\" href=\"http:\/\/redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&#038;u=http%3A%2F%2Fredirect.viglink.com%3Fkey%3D11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0%26amp%3Bu%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.ualbanysports.com%252FViewArticle.dbml%253F%2526amp%253BATCLID%253D205381382%2526amp%253BDB_OEM_ID%253D15800\">Charlise Castro<\/a>, first-baseman for UAlbany\u2019s softball team, is participating in the Classic on the Puerto Rican squad. Castro has played every game in the tournament so far at first base, and is batting .278 with one home run, four RBIs, and four runs scored.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"c24\">Castro started all 52 games at first base for UAlbany this past season, batting .309 with eight home runs and 32 RBIs. She has also competed for Puerto Rico in the World Cup of Softball for the past two years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"c24\">In the Pan American Classic, Puerto Rico currently sits in second place in Group B with a 5-1 mark, recording wins against Peru, Belize, Guatemala, Mexico, and Venezuela. Puerto Rico\u2019s only loss came against the Dominican Republic, the only team in front of Puerto Rico in the Group B standings. Next, Puerto Rico plays Canada Thursday night at 7:00 p.m. The Classic runs from August 10 \u2013 August 18.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"c24\">PAN AMERICAN CLASSIC WEBSITE<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/pixel.quantserve.com\/pixel\/p-89EKCgBk8MZdE.gif?resize=1%2C1\" border=\"0\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&#038;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ualbanysports.com%2F%2FViewArticle.dbml%3FDB_OEM_ID%3D15800%26amp%3BATCLID%3D209152010\">ALBANY<br \/>Headline News<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.techiteens.com\/review\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/c2997__p-89EKCgBk8MZdE.gif\" border=\"0\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" \/><br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.albanystudentpress.net\/castro-competes-at-pan-american-classic\/\">The Albany Student Press<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Castro Competes At Pan American Classic SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico \u2013 The Puerto Rican city of San Juan is playing host to the 8th Women\u2019s Softball Pan American Classic this month.
