Blu Girls Run‑Rule Malaysia, 14–0, in Asia Cup Showdown
The RP Blu Girls continued their commanding run at the 2025 WBSC Women’s Softball Asia Cup with a resounding 14‑0 victory over Malaysia. The Philippines’ potent offense struck early, racking up runs in the first innings, while their defense remained airtight throughout the game. Playing in Xi’an, they maintained full control and didn’t allow a single baserunner to reach home.
Following the match, Jean Henri Lhuillier—ASAPHIL president and Cebuana Lhuillier President and CEO—reflected on the team’s growing confidence after their earlier 15‑0 win over India, saying: “Our momentum is building and the girls are more cohesive with every inning. Today’s win shows how they’re translating that confidence into results.” Lhuillier’s words highlighted the team’s steady rise in form.
The Malaysia win adds to the Blu Girls’ impressive campaign in the round‑robin stage, joining prior triumphs over China and South Korea. Their only blemish remains the loss to Japan, but with runaway victories against India and Malaysia, they’ve reaffirmed their position as one of the tournament’s leading threats.
Next on the slate is a clash with Singapore tomorrow at 1 p.m., where the Philippines hopes to sustain their dominant performances and edge closer to clinching a top-three spot—and with it, qualification for the 2026 WBSC Women’s Softball World Cup and the Asian Games.
