Been here early today for a touching tribute to maab former macabi USA chairman Fred con all the teams gathered out on the field early on to pay tribute to his life and all the work that he’s done for maab USA we go into that throughout the game
Today but we’re just about ready to get into competition here with maab USA playing as the away team today Mexico will start in the field and maab USA will bat first Headlines by their lead off hitter and chairman now chairman of the maab USA softball program Larry silin playing
Second base today he’ll lead off this the first pitch is a bit outside we’re underway here in seia silin from California grew up playing baseball in addition to playing fast pitch softball as an adult is the next pitch to him in their for a strike bit of a breeze out here today in
Buenos uh about 75° it’s supposed to get much hotter later in the [Applause] afternoon pitch up from Mexico Palomo drops in a strike there count two and one now on silin cut on and Miss silen goes down swinging one away so a good start there for Mexico as
Silin dangerous out of that leadoff spot back to the Dugout that’ll bring up today’s first baseman Marty weiner for makabi USA the Lefty where’s number five and all of these players you know a lot of them have played for a long time together silin has played in a number of games
Many of them have really developed a deep bonds with each other throughout the years and they’re excited to be back for another Quest at a gold medal and it starts all here today against Mexico bit outside there so two balls no strikes on wiener in the dirt low and as we
Mentioned there was a tribute to former chairman Fred con who tragically passed away this past summer longtime chairman for over a decade of maab USA softball just a really touching moment when coach for Mexico coach dantos and there’s a walk to weer as he’ll take first gave a jersey a pink
Jersey with Fred Cohen’s last name to to manager of maab USA and that’ll be sent back to Fred coh’s family he’s back home watching and there were some really terrific speeches just remembering all that chairman con did for the maab USA softball family and the softball Community here in
General is that pitch in the dirt to Nate fish who’s playing shortstop today fish last night was announced he’ll be flag bearer tonight’s opening ceremony for maab USA fish digs in the pitch is swung on and foul tip so count even fish decorated player probably the strongest most talented player on this
Makab USA squad has a boatload of international experience he’s played many times internationally including in the WBC he’s currently the manager of Team Israel he pitch the fish outside with wiener on First and fish now ah heading the Count the 21 in the dirt it’s a ball and fish will take first so maab USA’s got an early rally here with just one out in the top of the first backto back walks by palombo on first and second now with Bill Frank the cleanup hitter playing
Left Field today for maab USA he’s du up or excuse me Frank will come up in just a moment we’ got maab USA’s Master team in action right now is that one way back to the screen both Runners Advance the open Team also they’re going to play right after this we’ll have that
Broadcast split broadcast here today we’re doing half the broadcast in English half the broadcast in Spanish with my broadcast partner Ethan I also a member of the macabi media team for maab USA will have that game later on the open team in action after this one but we’re still in the early stages
With macabi USA threatening Runners on second and third as the pitch to Frank in their for a strike really great atmosphere plenty of fans on hand to take in the first game of this softball competition here in Argentina pitch is high so still no contact no
Balls in play for maab USA but that managed to work themselves into a prime position here with Frank at the plate in side close one there count back even two and two now so one more bad one and PES will be juice right down the Middle as you can see there runner on second the Full Count pitch is outside and Frank will also head down to first so three straight walks here in the top of the first dished out by the starting pitch of Palomo and that’s going to bring up Dave wakeo today’s designated player
With the bases loaded and still just one out this would be a big moment if aab USA can make a statement here early on obviously playing with lots of adrenaline lots of inspiration after that tribute earlier this morning first game without chairman Fred con you know there’s a lot of energy as
There’s another Ball we have a timeout looks like coach dantos is going to go out and talk to Palomo try to calm him down this is bit unexpected but you know first game here at the Pan-American game there’s a lot riding on this maybe just few extra nerves in the circle for Palomo
But he’s got a lot to do to try to work out of this spe spe so just about set to resume action the one pitch a bit low again tight Strike Zone in there home playay umpire Jose Baron calling the balls and Strikes today Laura aen will man the base pass the other
Umpire is that one nearly hits Waco three balls no strikes three out Bases Loaded top of the first the pitch outside and there’s the first run of the game four walks in a row and maab USA on the board without even putting a ball in play here in the top of the
First bring up Aaron Owens who also the coach of this squad Co catching as well big right-handed batter the first pitch to him in there for a called strike one- nothing early stages of game number one here from sea just joining us Logan skano on the call for maab USA pitch in the
Inside gets to the back stop but big hop that’s going to allow the runners to stay put as fish thought about it for for a moment at third but then scampered back as the catcher halay made that play poo deals cut on and Miss on the
Off speed as Owens out in front of that One fish on third Frank on second wakeo over at first and the pitch to Owens at the plate is outside two two the count on Owens who’s looking to do damage and you know the walks are great but some more more runs would be nice for maab USA but he is
Content to take the walk five walks in a row two runs for the US team here early on in the first you know every maab USA player who comes up it it must be difficult to balance you know you want to drive and runs you got the bases loaded but Also Palomo hasn’t shown any desire to control the strike zone and walks are just as good at this point just one out still here early on as the pitch it’s inside the one there’s a strike right down the Middle palombo way high again the back stop very close to home plate so a lot of those pitches even though they’re way wide quick ricocheting back and it’s tough to tough to get home on a wild pitch here in Sea so two Count here on costro who’s playing Third Base today for makab USA 20 looped into left that one’s going to get down for a base hit one run scores Here Comes Waco the slide he’s safe going to second is crove and going to third on the play is Owens who’s in there two
RBI single for Cosgrove makes it 4 nothing macabi USA finally after walk after walk after walk a ball put in play and not the greatest of contacts but perfect placement in short left field there’s a close play at the but a good Slide by wakeo is able to get down and elude the
Tag as that’s going to do it for Palo here as he only records one out in the top of the first gives up four runs and still more potentially to his name here as we’re going to get a pitching change here in Setia See so eskenasi going to take over here for Mexico he’ll have plenty of time to warm up with still Runners on second and third we’ll be back in a moment Back here in Buenos Aries for the opening game of Ababa USA quest to claim a gold medal here in Argentina taking on Mexico Argentina also in this pool Canada was expected to be here but pulled back pulled out as the pitch to Davis is Cho foul Glen Davis playing right field
Today for maab USA he’s batting eighth so the US team has nearly turned this lineup around and batted around here in the top of the first still just one out esan deals also low one and one we’ll see how esani comes in here he probably was not
Expecting to be in this game this early on but lbo just didn’t have the control with five walks in a row and then the big hit by costro to put kab USA out 4 nothing F back Here so Runners on second and third four nothing in the top of the first and a called strike three Davis frustrated with that call but umpire Jose Baron said it clipped the outside corner a big out there for Mexico uh Davis gonna pinch run here on third as Davis or excuse me owens’s
Going to head back to the Dugout and put his catcher gear on is he’s going to catch Jason Gluckman here in the bottom of the first Gluckman doing the pitching today for maab USA it’s the nine-hole hitter Mark Brill up to the plate now flashy helmet for Brill red
White and blue is that one low and the batting gloves how about that it’s got to be the best dress on this maab USA Master softball team if I’m the one doing the vote the one good pitch by esani straight down the middle good velocity on that too called strike on the rise Ball the one- One another call that just Clips the inside corner this time so Brill behind in the count again this would be huge if Mexico can get out of this and esan can come in with reniss second and third one out and escape this jam and limit the damage
Here see if he can do just that check swing Runner coming home here’s the play and Davis is out at the plate so a big play there esani does the job team Mexico’s fired up but maab USA scores four runs in the top of the first
When we come back my partner David kova will take the broadcast in Spanish here in Argentina Spee for spe Fore I’m For for spe AR J F Arena Paras mexo [Applause] Mex chairman PR stri B strike bu [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] aren Aando chman h [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] a [Applause] St [Applause] [Applause] Arena Park arena Park Be Dak [Applause] meana me Salam to strike [Applause] St thank you David Mexico responding with one run there in the bottom of the first as pitcher Jason Gluckman got into a little bit of trouble with those backto back signals but came back strong striking out penos and Salam to end the threat in the bottom of the first
It’s a beautiful day here at SAA opening ceremony tonight where as we mentioned earlier in the broadcast aabi USA star Nate fish will be the flag bearer for the USA delegation as they walk out into movie star Arena tonight meanwhile plenty of fireworks here early
On for maab USA even before the game got started there was a really touching tribute to Fred Cohen former chairman maab USA sporting number 32 on their hats on their jerseys and wearing Fred Cohen bracelets as well as Cohen did so much for this maab USA program
And paying tribute to him and rightfully so here today his first game without chairman con as the number nine hitter Mark bril was batting and Glen Davis was thrown out trying to take home in the top half of the first so bril will get another try
Here as we begin the top of the second we go BR the only maab USA batter who did not complete his at bat in the top of the first as after bro will be back at the top with Larry silin who’s on Deck he struck out his first time up
Eskinazi still out there for Mexico it’s the first pitch shows bun and that hit Brill so he’s going to take first on the first pitch of this second inning seven Innings here ahead of us here in Buenos Aries and right after that maab USA open softball will be in
Action Ethan I will have that call in English the silin back up switch hitter batting Lefty this time silin playing second base today you can also catch he first pitch he shows bunt he joked to me before the games that he didn’t even know how much playing time he would
Get here in buen oner because there are so many talented players on this USA roster but there he is the now chairman in the leadoff rle shows but again gets it down going to be thrown out at first but Brill able to Scamper over to Second so a productive out for silin one
Down Marty weer back up for the USA team another Lefty here at the top of the order against the righty esquena first pitch inside esquinazi pardon me the one oh driven into left field coming on and it’s going to get down in front of penhos for a base
Hit thought penos had a beat on that one but dropped in there for a base hit for Wier the second hit of the ball game only the second hit for maab USA with four runs across Mexico also with two hits in that bottom of the first only one run to show
For it however as fish up chopped through the hole and into left field gr’s going to hold up and a base hit for fish and now the bases are loaded once again for the second straight inning with Frank coming up Frank came on with two aboard in the first inning and took the walk there’s no place to put him this time however as the USA team looking to do more damage here in Setia first pitch to Frank down the middle strike one got Brill on first or excuse me on third weer on second and fish at first another good pitch there by esquinazi clipping that outside corner and Frank quickly behind 0 and two slow dribbler down the first base
Line that’s going to get a run in as the ball Miss handled and that’s going to allow Frank to reach so an RBI for Frank on the fielder’s choice but he takes first it’s the base there at home play comes up for a moment is umpire Jose
Baron putting it back in place but it’s 51 now in favor of the Americans big Lefty Dave wo up at the plate now he also walked Walked In a run in the first inning first pitch inside one And0 the one out chop to First the play made the throw home in time the throw back and wakeo is tagged out as that was a fine defensive play by the Mexicans limiting the Americans to just one run they had the bases loaded with one out
Not as productive of an inning as they would have hoped for with that situation but still 5-1 in favor of maab USA as we head to the bottom of the Second you need water for for e PR f bu Arena foul quent we [Applause] No fman a 23 made the last fman me number stri palando elans strike strike do how see man alansa buos buenos Arena par [Applause] [Applause] Meana [Applause] see Al anuro Chano thank you David another run in that second inning for Mexico as hiter Jason glockman for makabi USA has struck out five of the last six six batters the only one who didn’t strike out kot hit a home run and inside the Parker as the fenes you know quite far back in the
Outfield but he really dug into one and lifted it deep down the left field line so the only blemish in that second inning one run there 5-2 still The Americans on top as we get ready to start the third inning esquinazi coming back out for his second full inning of work as we
Remember he relieved Palomo in the first after he recorded just one out and walked five batters in that first inning and gave up a big base hit two RBI base hit to Danny Cosgrove in the first that sent the Americans up 4 nothing early on it’s 52 where we stand now and
Do up for USA will be Owens crove and Davis so 6 seven and eight in the batting order the weather continues to stay pretty nice here out in Setia as it’s was projected to be almost 90° today but clouds covering the field at the moment it was rainy and windy and thund storms
Last night but now the precipitation has moved off but the sun has not come back yet the conditions are pretty good if you ask me out here today as lman a couple blemishes To His Name Across the first couple Innings his drop ball has been his best pitch by far
Generating plenty of swing and misses on that pitch off speed has been pretty good as well you can see he’s trying to locate the ball down in the zone time and time again as Owens the catcher digs in the left right-handed batter’s box here as the third inning is
Underway first pitch cut on a missed 0 and one we saw Owens out on the practice field with his teammates yesterday over at AOA as there’s another strike it’s really really hot sun right over the players at about 12 in the afternoon and Owens was out there full catcher gear catching these
Pitchers also Manning his Squad as well getting ready for these games he’s done a terrific job organizing the players getting them ready to play doesn’t take much however as you know they know the deal at this point as many of them have been to Israel for for the games and
Other Pan-American games as well tons of experience across this roster it’s the one two bit high rise ball sails over the Zone count even now at two and two the pitch chops short throw reverse and Owens is retired one away you got to give credit to these Mexican fans really showing out
Here in Buenos teams down a couple runs a few runs here but the crowd has remained loud and same with the Americans you know the open squad on hand to support the Masters team here as they’ll play later on against Argentina first pitch to crove is in the dirt one
And0 we still have not had a one two3 inning in this game plenty of action on both sides early on as there’s a line drive caught at third by Hater COV hit it hard but right down the line and hater playing very close to the bag expecting Cosgrove to pull as he did just that his last time up in the first inning able to elevate that one he got the two RBI base hit not the case this
Time here’s Glenn Davis one of the only maab USA players without a hit today or not just a hit but get on base but he might have that right here as he’s going to dig that one out for an infield hit Davis hustling down the line the
Speedster able to get to first as there were a couple misplays on that play first by esquinazi and then by the shortstop Asar that’ll bring up br for a walked last inning one And0 esquinazi five right back up the middle a beautiful play there by kot as he Scoops that one and steps on second to end the inning hard hit by Brill but nothing to show for it there as a clean Inning on the mound by esquinazi holds the Americans at five
Runs it’s 5-2 after two and a half Innings David kova back on play byplay in just a moment streaming the Mexico Foreign He video stream [Applause] Mex [Applause] Mex Gracias bu [Applause] Arena Chairman jaon Clayman [Applause] Chman [Applause] For [Applause] [Applause] Meo Mex f TR [Applause] me [Applause] Tov stri PR [Applause] a chairman Al Mala stri Hal videoing Home Mexicana noos [Applause] Mexico do you see thank you David thank you welcome back to buen Series where team Mexico has continued to ship away at maab USA’s lead it was 4 nothing after the first inning but we have seen maab Mexico speed on full display today they have
Four stolen bases a couple in the first and a couple in that last inning you saw shzond Scamper all the way home from second base on that wild pitch that went off the it looked like the shinard of catcher Aaron Owens so credit to them they have been resilient in this
One despite going behind early chipped away battle back and they’re right back in this ball game looks like we have a new pitcher for Team Mexico we’ll get you the name on that in a moment as it’s going to be the top of the batting order for macabi USA with
Silin Wier and fish do up here in the top of the fourth San had a sack buns his last time out actually looks like actually looks like that’s still askanazi out on the Mounds however Feldman is going to take over at first base or ABD Feldman was the designated player to start this Game as the first pitch to silen is flipped into foul territory and almost an incredible play over there by Haber not able to Corral it just a foul ball no damage done San’s third plate appearance here of the morning the switch hitter dangerous leadoff threat the pitch to him is on the outside
Corner esnagi has really gotten hold of his control here in the last couple Innings painting the edges of that Strike Zone as there’s another one lined right to short AAR makes the play one away silin hit that one hard just nothing to show for it here as weer now strides into the Batters
Box weener wears number five for maab USA those Carolina blue cleats really stand out amongst the red white and blue so we’re going to get a quick confrontation on the mound as salom going to go out and talk to esquinazi real quick here weer had a solid base hit his last
Time up one for two on the day foul back here as esconi did well to elevate that one slipped it over the bat of weiner who is on time the 01 cut on and miss the off speed backto back good pitches there this it’s 0 and two now on the
Number two hitter for makabi USA that one perhaps just a waist pitch you saw salami there stand up as he was trying to get esquinazi to elevate that pitch he did so just missed the strike zone the onew that hits weiner the rise ball you could see Eskenazi there trying to
Angle that pitch to the outside just held on for it held on to it a bit too long as Weiner takes first fish off to bat for maab USA fish having a terrific day thus far with a walk and a single last time up Bish a powerful righty first pitch to him
Low as fish has really been a big part of this movement to resurrect macabi USA softball just tremendous Talent here is what a play over a third by Haber fish that’s the hardest ball we’ve seen all day but Haber able to grab that one as you can see here on the
Replay fish hit it right on the screws and ha that’s just all all reaction right there what a play Fish got to feel like he was robbed on that one still a runner on first it’s weiner but two gone here in the fourth that one is looped into left field coming on is
Henos he makes the catch to end the inning so some fireworks on defense for makabi Mexico as the US held scoreless in that fourth inning still ahead 5 to four after three and a half Innings of play Let’s hand it back over to David kova to take this away Ione par A Mexico [Applause] see Andrea in aadi [Applause] Rec that’s it with a squee P Jackson Mala that’s a honey that’s a honey right there all right all right that’s two that’s two N sta [Applause] theep swing yes sir St [Applause] jayb a strong inning by glockman on the mound as he retires Mexico in order for the first time this afternoon he’s up to nine strikeouts on the afternoon as well at one point in these last two innings had four in a row so
Really has settled down in navigating that fast and Powerful Mexican lineup quite well here today as ashkanazi trots back out for another inning of work here he took over Midway through the first inning it’s 54 in favor of The Americans As two up for maab USA will be wakeo Owens and costro here that’s 5 six and seven in the lineup and Frank lined out his last last time up to left field one for two on the day with a walk harder to that first inning barrage four runs in the first for macabi
USA as the players on both sides soaking in the first opportunity to go head-to-head here in Buenos Aries macabi USA will play Argentina and also the open Squad the Masters and open will go head-to-head later in this tournament that’ll surely be an exciting matchup as Waco shows bunt and pulls
Back while was outside one and0 as a reminder we’ve got the open Squad in action right after the conclusion of this game as that Ball’s a bit low in the dirt they’re going to take on Argentina Argentina playing as the home team makes makes some sort of sense in that

His teammates trying to fire him up before this three-oh pitch and that makes the count three and one the count was two and one before that pitch so I apologize wake go digs in here there’s a strike from neonazi count full now three and two M go first time leading off an
Inning today you know he wants to get on base and bring up his teammates to drive in some runs here as the pitch outside hey come on bud sets looks in gets the sign and fires beautiful curveball Loops in there for a called strike haven’t seen him throw that pitch
Much this afternoon but that was a beauty here we go here we go Goldie now go Dan Danny right SC down in the count one and two looking to do damage that one line F way to keep him onest Danny had a buddy find that hole Danny find that
Hole ashkanazi on third Goldman on first crove at the plate for the United States Masters team the pitch Cho to second play made at first run scores asazi comes home a productive out there byro his third RBI on the day like last time big as there’s a little
Bit more breathing room now for the United States as it’s 6 to4 here in the fifth Glenn Davis first pitch to him foul tipped into the glove as salame for a strike 0 and one Davis not the tallest on this team but one of the fastest that’s for sure is there’s a foul off the screen caught by salami but obviously not an out Davis is bat one flying
There the right fielder for makabi USA has a single and a strikeout on the afternoon he was also caught trying to take home early on in this game o and two and a timeout call play umpire Jose Baron stopping play here momentarily as Brill on deck and of
Course if he’s both these guys are able to get on back to the order with silin the O2 fouled off good job Davis reaching for that one Staying Alive as that probably would have been a called strike three it looked like it was close to the
Edge again you can see all these guys on maab USA wearing the number 32 patch in honor of former chairman Fred con as the O2 is low the 2-2 Pitch hit right back up the middle and over the glove of conad that’s going to be a base hit Goldman holds at
Third Davis gets his second hit of the game first one to reach the Outfield and again the US One Step Closer to another run as there’s Runners on the corner and we’re going to get a meeting on the mound everyone on the infield meeting right now in the
Circle as it’s going to bring up Brill for the United States again a beautiful day here in wenos Aries opening ceremony on top tonight as I’m sure plenty of these guys are going to get out there even though they’ve done it a time or two a lot of
Them you know the opening ceremonies always brings a new sense of Pride not just for your country but also as part of a Jewish delegation from the US of over 500 athletes here in Argentina 22 countries represented here in Buenos series for these games first pitch to
Brill he shows bun fouls it off shaking his hand a little bit there may have gone off one of his fingers seems to be just fine chance to drive in a run with just one out here in the top of the fifth the pitch another bunt by
Brill holding a third is Goldman brill’s out at first we’re trying to execute the safety squeeze there but gr not able to locate that bunt quite as well as he probably would have hoped as another out brings up silen silin still looking for his first
Hit of these games over for 0 for two on the day with the sack bun send first pitch a little bit late on that one fouled off yes timing just a bit off this afternoon struck out swinging in the first led out his last time up ashkanazi just looks in for too long
For San’s liking and he calls time settles back in ready to go here for the 01 pitch in the dirt again Runners on second and third a chance to open the Open The Gap and get some big Insurance runs here with just about two innings to go here in game number one from
Sea the one one shot missed the outside corner Mexico fans wanted that one you can see AAR short with his hands on his head they thought that was a strike looped to short ashar makes the catch and that’ll do it here in the top of the the fifth another run for maab
USA it’s 64 after 4 and 1 half Innings of play in the first game here in Buenos Aries in Buenos Arena speak in English foree In Buenos Arena Park The exem video Nas St [Applause] Paran boletto NCO [Applause] [Applause] P Mal p R chairman right field Mex om sea Chman [Applause] K [Applause] K foul [Applause] it’s KCK for [Applause] Sure [Applause] me [Applause] Hal m R Number bu Arena Li video [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] for Aring For fore spee A tomal Mal stoer f Po [Applause] foul seele Mexicana it the [Applause] Mexico manoski dantos dant Daniel Do gando Mexico an exciting half inning there but for the first time all day maab USA is behind as Mexico I mean just a terrific job by them putting the ball in play hitting it where the fielders aren’t and wow sesman has had a day today with
Three RBI that triple that Glenn Davis narrowly missed out in right field that really opened the door for a big inning for Mexico as chesman had an RBI followed by hater and then salom had an RBI there was a little bit of contention in that bottom half of the inning as Sil
And thought the what is currently the go ahead run shouldn’t have counted thought that the runner did not touch the base as there was a play at home on that hit by salame but the call stood and Mexico heads into this top half of the six with
A lead so work to do for the USA Squad and it’s going to start right here with Marty weiner you saw in that bottom half of the inning that maab USA made a pitching change Russ snow who gave a little bit of a different look a lefty came into this game and uh
The Mexican Squad was really on top of his pitches as snow gave up three runs that inning glockman finishes the day with four earn runs across five innings or four Innings and eight strikeouts as the first pitch to Wier is a strike 0 and one the pitch High one and
One the Lefty two singles on the afternoon as that one drilled through the second base hole it’s a base hit another solid at bat by maab USA’s first baseman today as he’s on base for the fifth time been on base all five times across six Innings and we’ll see if this is the
Start of a maab USA rally here trailing by one run with two innings left to play and looks like we’re going to have another meeting on the mound maybe a pitching change as all maab Mexico’s infielders confer in the circle you really couldn’t ask for a
More exciting start to the games as we do inde indeed have a change askanazi is going to depart 7- six in less than six Innings 13 runs combined between these two teams and we’re not even close to done here so just less than two innings here to play
So we’re gonna have a quick timeout as the new pitcher warms up here for Mexico ser big moment in this game as Nate fish has a chance to drive in a run with Wier on First and no outs here in the top half the six dbat is the new pitcher for Mexico
Where’s number four the righty throwing pretty hard in warm-ups first chance to see him on the afternoon fish has one hit today along with a walk pitch way high there’s a strike on the inside corner boes from the USA faithful no way count one and one on fish decorated International Star M
Fish cut on and missed on the off Speed The one- One Nate thought about that one but why is L held up that one sailed low two and one 76 in favor of Mexico here in the opening game here in Buenos series Logan skano on the call that one looped into left field
Drifting fouled fish just a tad out in front on that one as the off speed slowed down just enough to push that ball fouled or else that would have surely been at least a base hit if not more for fish no outs here in the top of the Six the two two and that looks like strike three salami can’t believe it that’s way out from our vantage point I thought that had the corner but fish able to uh recognize it and take it for a ball as the count loaded up now On maab USA’s three hitter thebot deal foul back tobot throws pretty hard harder than most who been in the circle here this Afternoon coming on trying to close this one out with six outs to play with here as fish fouls it off again out of Play Over the screen battling here against the powerful Righty the 3-2 again is low for a ball as fish flings the bat off the uh the screen here in front of the Dugout happily takes first and now maab USA really set up with first and second no outs these have been long at bats here to start the sixth
Inning these USA players really not giving an inch at the plate taking their walks on the afternoon they had five walks in the first inning believe eight walks on the day first pitch to Frank is bunted up in the air catch made and Frank not able to execute there
Had a chance to advance both Runners but not able to get it Down that’ll bring up wakeo once again for m Robby USA today’s DP designated player similar to the designated hitter position in baseball wakeo takes an off speed that drops in for a strike 0 and one Mexico fans getting fired up again as they have all afternoon trying to Rally their squad as
There’s a pitch that’s outside from bot the one- one way outside two and one wakeo couple of walks and grounded into a double play that really stalled the momentum in the second but has a chance to make some things right here with Runners on first and second wakeo chops at foul looking down
At coach Owens who’s in the third base coaching box getting some signs here two and one on wakeo here as dbat sets and delivers another ball that just floats in there pitch was called the ball however much to the CH grin of some of the Mexican outfielders and infielders wo has the count Even high and looks like that was actually ball four wo’s going to take a base here we got the count mixed up but it goes to the advantage of maab USA as now the bases are loaded and Goldman coming up in place of Owens first plate appearance of the day for
Goldman and it comes in a Monumental spot one out Bas is loaded Goldman up the first pitch is a strike on the outside corner with the rise ball Goldman left-handed hitter against the righty tobot and that one sails High you saw the resilience that Mexico showed throughout this game can maab USA
Respond with some of their own as that pitch is low and it’s two and one as with that 2-1 we’re going to get a pinch Runner Ashkenazi back out in place of wo at first Goldman at the plate the Bop the 2-1 chopped to short missplay there that’s going to allow one
Run to score here comes another R and tagged out is fish so a good recovery by Asar but a costly error allows one run to score as you can see here not able to get it on the short hop one run in for maab USA on the play and we are all even
At 77 aggressive base running by fish you don’t know maybe if he had stopped he would have had bases loaded and still one out instead it’s Runners on first and second with two outs so lucky break there for mopy Mexico in an accurate throw by ashar making up for the error
Initially there’s a strike to krow who looked like he was moving away from that pitch somehow still called the strike cut on a missed a big swing by costro o and two as debot looking to escape this inning with just one run to his name the pitch called strike three so
Dbot comes back to strike out cgro looking but not before macabi USA takes advantage of a misplay in the infield and ties this game at seven 77 after 5 and a half Innings of play let’s throw back to David kova for play-by-play in Spanish spee spe go bu Arena par Artina [Applause] estto kasak [Applause] A buas [Applause] araas me R [Applause] PR alv chairman St Centr k [Applause] Yeah [Applause] and Number [Applause] Triple by for holl B m Foul strike PA [Applause] [Applause] for [Applause] For ining for Sal [Applause] pansa [Applause] There set episodio foul Aren stream [Applause] L for [Applause] short Bola P [Applause] Lando Tom lak episodio really tough inning for maab USA there is Mexico pummels pitcher Russell snow for six runs in that top bottom half of the six and they go ahead 13-7 couple inside the park home runs in that inning including nuro and salame both with two run inside The Parkers and
Chesman also had a home run of his own so we talked about the speed early on for Mexico and now the power coming out in full force and this is something that maab USA know knew could potentially be a problem in this tournament is their lack of pitching depth maab
USA really only has a few pitchers on its roster always looking for more young Talent new pitching and unfortunately for Russell snow he just wasn’t able to get the outs as fast as he would have liked today allowing seven runs in that or six runs in that bottom
Half of the sixth so it’s the last chance for maab USA to mount an improbable comeback here in the top half of the seventh of course Mexico the home team today so if USA does somehow tie it they’ll have one more chance in the bottom half of the inning Logan skan
Back here at Setia in Buenos are says the wind has also picked up substantially here really you could see it impact the play in the last inning or so couple misplays in the Outfield although we did see a really terrific catch by Nate fish in short left field
One of the lone bright spots of the past half inning for makabi USA as ashkanazi gets his first plate appearance of the afternoon coming in for Glenn Davis F back here the bot pitch low from him skazi has been subbed in as a pinch Runner a couple times this afternoon and
He Loops one into right and it falls fouled just behind first so he’s going to have to make the walk back to the right hand batter’s box as bril helping him out with the bat RS on deck and if after these two it’ll be silen and a foul tip into the glove of
Salame for strike three as ashkanazi goes down swinging on that curveball so one down here two more outs to go for Mexico as they try to start there PanAm games off with a resounding comeback win and uh for maab USA there’s a offs speed pitch that
Falls in for a strike turn doesn’t feel good after they were up 4 nothing in the first inning had leads throughout the afternoon of 51 64 but we’re not able to hold on obviously a couple more outs to play with here but Mexico in control gr without a hit
Today as there’s one foul down the right field line bar a bit late on that pitch from debat now we’re ready to go once again the pitch inside almost hit drill runs up and in for a Ball another ball down in the dirt as Brill works the count even at two and two with those stars and striped lined batting gloves real looking to make impact and he takes a ball appears to be Ball Four as trots down to First with a walk still six-run deficit here for mcab USA
In the seventh and final inning of play unless something miraculous happens here it will be the last inning first pitch to silin is a strike San still without a hit did throw out a runner last inning as he took over behind the plate as br going to take second on the ball that
Got past salame San started the game at second and took over behind the plate couple Innings ago one of the leaders of this maab USA Squad certainly if maab USA doesn’t make the comeback he’ll have to rally the troops after this performance here today as that one driven into the Gap in left
Center field and a diving play in Center by nuro and they double up BR at second and that ends the ball game so an unfortunate end as maab USA gets caught napping on the base pass and team Mexico with a strong performance overall a resounding resilient effort by them coming back
From an early deficit to take down maab USA with by a final score of 13-7 well that’s going to do it for us here in Bueno series as maab USA Master softball Falls 13 to7 to Mexico more open softball coming up after this Spee Put your hands up put your hands up foree Foree Spee Spee Spee Fore For Spee Fore Upee Hey Spee Lady For Spee Put your hands up put your hands up fore Foree Amer For Spee Speee Spee Fore Spee For Spee Fore hey Hey Spee Lady Foree
