Soooes yesterday,Thursday at future Cooperstown enrollees.
Yikes: 4 shutouts,includin 2 games endin in 4 innings by slaughter rule (I knows how that goes) . 1 game a no-hitter and the other 3 were 1 hitters.
(1) CHECKOSLOVIAKIA? vrs JAPAN. Theres a game. 16-zip and no hitter by JAPAN. Know here a strange one. CHECHS pithchers are onlyallowed to throw fastballs. No curves,sliders,sinkers,or any other crap that other kids can throw. It might be a country that understands the damage that can be done to one's arm at that age throwin all kinds of crap. Although,I think I can member,young kids from CHECK throwing rocks at GERMAN TANKS and throwin sum curveballs,durin WORLD WAR II. Now on the other side,when the CHECKS are battin,they have never seen a curveball or slider unless they play WIFFLE BALL in their backyard. So JAPAN justs nocks the crap out of everyfastball pitch and CHECKS strike out as all JAPAN throwin is curveballs. Hence the 16-0 slaughter score and JAPAN no-hitter.
(2)TAIWAN played good as expected. Here's one though. They only have 11 players on team. The other 4 must be on some offshore island,defendin against a CHINA invasion.
(3) Them multi-colored baseball bats is givin me a headache.
(4) I forgot who the Pennslyvania team lost to in last game yesterday. But they had 12,000 fans there rootin for them. OH well,they at least have another game.
ON to today's games and tomorrows reports.
