WORLD CUP Men - Day 7, Championship - JAPAN WON THE FIRST WORLD MEN'S CUP

After embarrassing defeat from Japan US team came back today beating
Venezuela 5:2. Travis Price trew a good game against dangerous venezuelan
hitters.

Champioship Game:
Kunihiko Iida pitched one hitter game against USA in front of 4-5 thousand
spectators in a live broadcast game of the Czech national TV. 8 hits by
japanese hitters made the difference. What stats does not show is we had
the great game eneded up with double play with runners on first and second,
one out. Iida fielded the ground ball and instead of throwing to third he
had turned the ball in to the second fo succesfull doulbe play, which ended
the game.

Crowd appeciated nice plays from both teams but Japan got their heart.

Individual awards:
Best Pitcher: Kunihiko Iida (Japan)
Best Hitter: Hiraku Yokoyama (Japan)
MVP: Christopher Delawelle (USA)
Homeruns: Frank De Groet (USA)

We had the best tournament ever played in Europe. Thanks to all teams,
umpires and organizers for this great introduction of mens fastball to
Europe !!!
