I’m watching this game Utah v Colorado and Utah is just hitting like crazy… 16 to 2 in the bottom of the 4th… heck of a game … just said that in the 2 games Utah scored 35 runs
Utah didn’t make it - Wyatt Erickson pitched a no hitter for Paseo Verde to advance
Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) is playing Australia and is up 11 to 0 in the top of the 5th
Taiwan just won with a double play- Taiwan looks strong this year
Taiwan v Cuba on Sunday night
Venezuela v Japan - scoreless at the top of the third
bottom of the 4th- Venezuela scored 3 top of the 4th and Japan has 2 on no outs…
these teams are good - just loaded the bases, no outs…
final 3 to 2 - excellent game
Venezuela plays Taiwan in the international championship Saturday
I’d like to see Taiwan play Boerne in the final, but they have to win today first
Venezuela’s best pitcher has walked half the batters in the first… Taiwan just got a run from a bad pitch… Yepez had 30 pitches in the first inning…
4 to 1 final - Taiwan wins - another hard fought game…
next up, Texas v Florida
Attended a couple of games at the 1990 Little League World Series, having had a nephew on the Shippensburg team. They won the United States Championship over California, but got their asses handed to them by Taiwan 9 to 0 in the Final game.
To be fair, I don’t think a professional team could have stopped Taiwan that year.
I will say that Williamsport is probably one of the finest summer venues for any sport in the country.
congratulations and sympathies
this next one should be another good one
I visited Boerne a few times when I lived in San Antonio, I never expected to see them with a team in the series
top of the first - beautiful double play by Texas…
2 run double bottom of the third… Texas 4 Florida 0
top of the fourth, Florida scores 1 - left 2 on
top of the fifth, Florida scores 1, 1 away runners on the corners, pitching change
Florida scores 2 more, tied game 4-4, pitcher got hit by a batted ball on the thigh- got taken out of the game - another pitching change - Florida scores another 5-4
bottom of 5th - Florida walks the bases loaded - base hit down the middle - tie game
wild pitch- runner comes in from third - Texas up 5-6 - runners on 2nd and 3rd
off his bat- runner comes in and batter takes first - play stands Texas up 5-7, runners on the corners - hit to short out at 2nd
top of 6th - Florida has runners on 2nd and 3rd no one out… loaded bases
Florida hits a single up the middle scores one - 6-7
pop up caught - overthrow to home, run comes in 7-7 runners 2nd & 3rd
double - 2 runs in Florida up 9-7 runner on 2nd 2 away
runner takes first on a walk- runs to third on an overthrow as the runner on second scored
runner tagged out at third but the run scored - Florida up 10 - 7
Texas couldn’t score - Florida wins
another great game - Florida v Taiwan tomorrow
I had to look up Boerne on Google Maps. About 31 straight miles from downtown San Antonio, yet looks to be a small cow town.
I am familiar with Lake Mary in Florida, which borders Sanford.
yeah, 40 years ago seems like Boerne had maybe 1000 people (they probably had more, but all I remember is a two or three street town) … bunch of farmers and ranchers
Looks like Lake Mary will be playing Taiwan (er, Chinese Taipei) for the Championship.
Boerne will play Venezuela in the Consolation/Third Place game.
So far it is a good game for Taiwan - up 1 - Florida left bases loaded in the second…
finally tied it up bottom of the 6th - 1 to 1 going into overtime
Florida won it in the bottom of the 8th- good game
