Amateur:
As expected, the Taiwanese junior NT defeated Sri Lanka 17-0 on Tuesday. With the win, Taiwan improves to 4-0 (10-0 this summer including their recent tour to the US). Tomorrow's game against South Korea will match two undefeated teams with tremendous pitching talent. Taiwan's pitching staff has been spot-on, allowing 0 runs and only 2 hits throughout the first 4 games. Rong-Hao Hsieh and Chih-Lung Huang are expected to pitch in tomorrow's match. South Korea is expected to counter with a lefty that throws as hard as 95 mph.
