Waking up at 6:30 am for a baseball game was a bit hard, didn't sleep that well with excitement of the game! It was one hour drive to the stadium. Yes because for a friendly games we play in little a stadium in front of a few hundred of peoples. ( a lot more then Pineuilh or Pessac) We played against a private university (sorry I don't remember the name), so a lot more players then us. They had 30 players in there team compared to 15 on are side. We unfortunately lost 5 to 3, but it was a good lost! It was our first match together. We have got a very good team, that loves to play baseball, we just need to play more. Lucky! We are going to play every week! I pitched the last 2 innings, 1 hit 1 K 0R. It was a good outing for me. It's maybe to early to judge but the Japanese are very aggressive( just like the Cubans) they swing on the first strike... It was a little bit strange pitching with Kenko balls but the good thing is that the balls move a lot! Hoping to get ready for the major tournament in September where we will get the a chance to play against the best teams of the prefecture . The fun thing about it all is that I get to bat! ( no DH in our games) Batted 1 for 2, with a RBI single to right field ;)
Japanese baseball shoes are very light, but are in leather!!!! My feet where so so HOT, I actually thought about pitching in socks.
Ps: Met my roommate! He is a very nice boy, a little older then me. He studies Chinese and is pretty shy.
Miss you all xxx
