Japan hammers China 18-2 in WBC
TOKYO (AP) -- Japan didn't have to worry about run production after all.
Tsuyoshi Nishioka and Kosuke Fukudome hit back-to-back homers in the fifth inning Friday to lead Japan to an 18-2 rout of China in the World Baseball Classic.
The game was called after eight innings under the tournament's mercy rule.
Not only did China lose...but we lost by the mercy rule. That's the absolute worst way to lose! But it's okay, I held my head high 4 years ago when China didn't even score a goal in the World Cup. We've made a 200% improvement by scoring 2 runs in the World Baseball Classic. WOOHOO!!
In other news...Spring Training officially went under way. Giants beat the Brewers 10-5. Randy Winn leads off with a HR. Durham had a 3 run double. Things are sure looking good. Come July...no one will remember ANY of this but it's fun relishing the fact we're UNDEFEATED!!!
Welcome back Giants baseball... I've been waiting for you.
