Play was briefly interrupted in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings when fans ran on to the field during the World Baseball Classic semi-final between the USA and Cuba in Miami.
The first held a banner that read “Libertad Para Los Presos Cubanos del 11 de Julio [Freedom for the Cuban Prisoners of July 11]”, referring to the date of 2021 demonstrations.
Several hundred people gathered before the game outside the loanDepot park stadium, home to the Miami Marlins, to protest the presence of the Cuban team, whose country has been under communist rule since 1959.
United States romped past Cuba 14-2 on Sunday night to reach their second straight World Baseball Classic final.
