ISF's Day Two - Game 11 - Japan vs Botswana
July 18, 2009
Saskatoon, SK
Game 11
1:30pm and the grounds crew are preparing the diamond for the game between Japan and Botswana.
Game time is supposed to be 1:30 but my guess is it will start about 1:50pm
B3 and its tied 1-1
This is an excellent game to watch, both games are playing well and really into it.
A much appreciated side benefit is the beautiful singing from the bench of the Botswana team. I heard similar singing in 1996 from South Africa in Midland.
2:37pm 2 run home run home run by Japan - 3-1 for Japan
2:45pm - Botswana just smacked a double and drove in a run to close the gap a bit, now 3-2 for Japan.
and they drive in another run to tie it up. 3-3 2:50pm
and now Botswana has the bases loaded, two out. 2:55pm
wild pitch and Botswana score another to make it 4-3 for their side. Runners on 2 and 3, 2 out.
last batter goes down swinging. Anyone watching this must love it, the Japanese are very vocal with their chirping and the Botswana team love to sing.
3pm
B4 Japan turn the tables, passed ball and Japan score one. Runner still on 2b. Botswana pitching change.
