Canada Beijing Bound

March 13th box scores.

Canada hung on to beat the Koreans 4-3 in Taichung tonight. We took a 4-1 lead into the 9th and almost blew it. Korea has a scary offense. The 30 or so Canadians in the crowd were invited onto the field for a group pic with Team Canada after the game. We have officially qualified for the Beijing Olympics with the win. First defeat of the tourney for the Korea.

In other games the Aussies took down Spain 9-0, Taiwan beat South Africa 4-0 and Mexico shut out Germany by the same score 4-0.

Germany v Canada tomorrow in Duo Liu.

Koreans play Taiwan at 6:30 which is sure to be a packed house here in Taichung.

Good stuff,
Pictures with the team, eh?
Who held Stubby Clapp's hand?
He played on the Crackercats last year here in Edmonton. Heart-and-soul guy, but heck, that ball was bush league compared to the Olympic team. Or not?
How does this calibre of ball compare to the Majors?
