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).

Nice to hear our Bronco team won. They seem like a really talented bunch. BTY, where were you finding the results for our Bronco team's games?

Regarding LL, Why do we have to bank on Thailand doing well? If we beat HK, then HK,Korea, and Taiwan would all be 3-1. Wouldn't they have to replay some games between the 3 teams to decide a winner?

With a 3 way tie, they go by the team with the lowest run differential - calculated by defensive runs given up divided by the number of innings played on defense. So without knowing the number of innings played, I'll list the number of runs given up in the 4 games so far: South Korea (4), Hong Kong (5), Taiwan (6).
