Updated story to the one below:

Update on game against Chinese Taipei now I have my book at hand.

 

4 runs 9 hits 1 error to Australia

2 runs 9 hits 0 error to Chinese Taipei

 

S. Wearne 1 hit home run 2 rbi

T. Oeltjen 1 hit 2 hbp

D. Floyd 1 hit homerun

J. Hodges 1 hbp

S. Robinson 3 hits

C. Stephens 2 hits

R. Street 1 hit

S. Beresford 7 innings 1 run 6 hits 2 k's 2 bb

A. Collis 2 innings 1 run 3 hits 1 k

 

We had some great plays in the field - another 2 double plays, a great

Fielding effort to throw out a runner at home base, and a tagout at third base.

Robbie Street laid down a great bunt for a safe hit, and Steve Robinson had a great

Line-drive go through the outfield fence for a ground rule double which should

Have scored another run.

It will be interesting to see if the experts now think we may be a chance

for a medal. We are hoping if all goes to plan we should play China in the first

playoff game. We'll have to get all results in first to be certain.

 

I hope everyone back home is as excited as we are. Its been a wonderful

effort by the boys, and they now have a great deal of confidence in their

ability.

Denise Robinson

 Original report

We won again. 5-0 record after the 1st round I think creates history again.

It was an extremely tight game, with the final score being 4-2 in our favour.

Daniel Floyd and Scott Wearne both hit home runs, which scored the 4 runs.

Steve Robinson had three hits.

Simon Beresford pitched a wonderful 7 1/3rd innings with Anthony Collis doing

a great job in closing.

All the boys contributed in some way with some great double plays and tagouts

being turned.

A couple of days rest now, and on with the finals.

regards.

Denise Robinson
