Our last game of “Friendlies”
Well the last practice game was played today before we begin our competition. We play Canada in 2 day on Aug. 13. It was a typical day in Beijing as we prepared to take on Team USA. We took the field and started with a stretch, played some catch, met President Bush, took infield, met President Bush, and started the game. It was a close game all the way until the ninth. The score was 3-2 in the eighth (3 unearned runs) and then the game got away from us. We put in our lower level pitchers and they gave up 3 runs in the ninth. Did I mention that I met President Bush? It was awesome! We had some photo ops with the team before the game and he spoke with the coaches individually and with the team as a whole. What a thrill, my daughter was able to get a photo with him as well. What a very engaging person. He was well informed about our team and gave them some words of encouragement as we try to develop baseball in China. All in all it was a typical day in Beijing………..
