Phoenix Cup - Day 1


Whew! It's been a busy couple days, sorry for the late updates. The Liberty Belles had a buy today so we watched South Korea defeat Hong Kong 14-4. Japan beat Australia 11-1 and Japan also beat Taiwan 11-0. We got some solid practices in today and yesterday and I must say, our team looks really solid! We inherited a great coach from Hong Kong . . . actually he's from Alaska, he spent time in Washington state, and now he coaches baseball in Hong Kong. He really knows his stuff and has done a fantastic job leading our practices. I took some great pics of opening ceremonies, and am contemplating the best way to post them. I will share them with you soon!

We have our first game tomorrow at 9:30am against South Korea. I'll be the Liberty Belles' starting pitcher. We'll have a 3-hour break, then we'll face Hong Kong. These are our only pool games heading into the playoffs, so we have to win both to earn the first seed in our division. I'll try to post results and highlights tomorrow night, but if you can't wait, you can visit the Phoenix Cup website for score results. Wish us luck!
