On to Monterey and Washington!

LL/Pony:

KY Lee (L) & CM Tu (R)

Taiwan pulled out a close 2-1 decision over Japan in the Bronco division (Pony) Asia-Pacific Zone Tourney to advance to Monterey, CA. Starting pitcher Chia-Ming Tu (hit 75 mph) was spot-on, holding the team from Japan to 1 run over 7 innings, K'ing 9. Kuan-Yi Lee would come on in the 8th and overpower his opponents with an 80 mph fastball (a plus-plus fb at this age level) to pick up the win!
Chia-Ming Tu would lead the tourney with an .800 BA, while Kuan-Yi Lee won the HR crown (with 1). The tourney MVP would go to their teammate Kuan-Yu Shih.
With two aces, this team should fare very well in the US.

The reps from Taichung in the Pony division also wrapped up a spot in Washington, PA by beating both Japan 12-4 and South Korea 8-0 to take the Asia-Pacific crown.


Over in Hong Kong (LL action), the boys lost 4-2 to South Korea, putting them in a must-win situation over the host team tomorrow. The team will also need some help from the Thai team (either a win or score a lot of runs).
