USA Junior Men shutout by Australia at World Championship

Sunday, June 26th, 2005

From Al’s Fastball:

USA Junior Men are shutout by defending champion Australia at World Championship

Summerset, PEI, Canada­-The USA Softball Junior Men were shutout by two-time defending champion Australia 5-0 on day two of the ISF World Championship to fall to 1-1 in the tournament. The U.S. managed only two hits in the game while being fanned 17-times.

The Aussies jumped all over U.S. starter Zach Warne (Sioux Falls, SD) in the first two innings scoring one in the first and four in the second to take a comfortable 5-0 lead. Warne was relieved in the second but was responsible for all five of the runs. B.J. Hunhoff (Harrisburg, SD) held Australia hitless while allowing just one walk in three innings of relief work. Kyle Davis (Sioux Falls, SD) pitched the final three innings holding the Aussie’s scoreless.

The U.S. had runners in scoring position in the third when Brandon Huerta (Atascadero, Calif.) and Brian Malakowsky (Wells, Minn.) reached on walks but could not come up with a key hit to get on the board. Kevin Castillo (Long Beach, Calif.) broke up the no-hitter in the sixth inning with a single and Jason Loe (Sioux Falls, SD) followed with a single
as well but once again both were left stranded.

“We didn’t start the game mentally ready today,” said head coach Tim Lyon. “We came out flat, got behind early and could not make a run at them. We had a few chances with runners in scoring position but could not get that first big hit.”

Australian pitcher Adam Folkard was dominate against the Red, White and Blue allowing only two hits while recording 17 of the 21 outs by strikeout. Looking to rebound on Sunday from its first loss, the U.S. will try and knock off perennial power New Zealand at 1 p.m. “We will be ready to play New Zealand tomorrow and get back on the winning track”.

USA Jr. Men rally for win over Czech Republic

Saturday, June 25th, 2005

SUMMERSIDE, PEI

– A three-run seventh inning rallied Team USA over a valiant Czech Republic squad Friday evening at the ISF 2005 Junior Men’s World Softball Championship at Queen Elizabeth Park’s Very Important Volunteer Field in Summerside.

The Czech’s led 5-1 at one point before USA mounted their rally with timely hitting and several miscues by their defense which led to Jason Loe’s game winning run to win the game.

Other top batters for Team USA were Kevin Castillo (2-4, RBI), Curtis Leavitt (1-2, run scored, home run), and Bobby Olson (2-2 run scored). For the Czech Republic, Michal Hudec (1-2, run scored, three RBI) and Bohumir Adamec (1-3, two runs scored, two RBI) was tops.

Winning pitcher was John Kelly who went the distance allowing five runs on five hits and fanning five.

Losing pitcher Jaroslav Muller went five plus innings allowing four runs on four hits, while Stepan Eret went a seventh of an inning allowing two runs on one hit.

RAIN POSTPONES GAME
Heavy rains during the fourth inning of Canada’s opening game led to the postponement of their game with Mexico until 11 a.m. on Saturday morning. Team Canada was leading 2-0 when the umpires and the game was called due to thunder and lightning and the rains.
