Taichung Stadium is a nice, compact, 20,000 capacity baseball park.
Last night, in front of approximately 19,850 empty seats, Australia's Canberra Cavalry beat Korea's Samsung Lions 9-5 in what had to be one of the most exciting games I've been to.
Samsung, like Rakuten, did not bring the big guns. That was a mistake for Samsung because 'on any given night' - and last night was the night - Samsung did not have the pitching but Canberra had the hitting.....aided, of course, by the fact that I was razzing the umpires and cheering the Aussies on.
I sat with the Italian team, which, at 4am, left Taiwan to return to Bologna. The Korean team will now go back to Seoul and 'have to explain' how they blew it.
Tonight, Rakuten is in danger - they left their guns back in Sendai and will play a strong Taiwan Uni-President 7-11 Lion team that certainly will be motivated by a near to capacity house, tonight.
It was cold as hell out there, last night.....I'll bundle up a bit more, tonight....and am looking forward to it.
On Sunday afternoon, Rakuten beat Canberra, 6-3, going ahead - finally - after 8 innings. Without their first team offense, Rakuten could face embarrassment, tonight, too......
Regardless, it's fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
