TEAM USA CRUSHES TAIWAN, 10-0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK - Team USA starting pitcher Kiki Bengochea (RHP, So,
Miami) tossed 8.0 shutout innings, holding Taiwan to just four hits, as the
USA Baseball National Team (16-5-1) defeated Taiwan 10-0 in the first meeting
between the two sides this year, Saturday night at EAB Park on Long Island.
It was Team USA's 26th consecutive win over the Taiwanese National Team, in
games played dating back to 1990. Team USA went 10-0 against Taiwan last
summer.
The USA National Team has now won nine in a row, and 14 of their last 17
games overall on the 2001 Red, White and Blue Tour under Head Coach Pat
McMahon. Bengochea (3-0) has now worked 30.2 scoreless innings since
allowing the only run he has surrendered this summer, back on the 4th of
July.
After Kevin Howard (IF, So, Miami) doubled leading off the second to extend
his personal hitting streak to seven games, Carlos Quentin (OF, Fr, Stanford)
was able to coax a two-out walk off Taiwanese starter Chih Chia Chang. Omar
Quintanilla (IF, Fr, Texas) then belted a first pitch fastball over the right
field wall to give the Red, White and Blue a 3-0 jump. It was his
team-leading third homer of the summer.
Team USA added an unearned tally in the fifth when Quintanilla scored on
Jeremy Reed's (IF, So, Long Beach State) sacrifice fly to left. The Texas
sophomore-to-be scored his third run of the game in the seventh, after he
doubled and came around on a base hit by Javi Herrera (C, Fr, Tennessee).
Reed then singled to knock Chang out of the game, and Rickie Weeks (OF, Fr,
Southern) drove Taipei reliever Po Chang Shen's first pitch over center
fielder Chien Ming Chang's h
Quentin connected for his first homer of the summer - a two-run shot off
Taiwanese reliever Yueh Ping Lin - in the eighth, to make it 10-0.
Bobby Brownlie (RHP, So, Rutgers) relieved Bengochea and struck out the
side in the ninth to end the game.
The 2001 USA Baseball National Team Red, White and Blue Tour continues on
Monday evening in Bridgeport, Connecticut when Team USA and Taiwan play
the second of this eight-game series. Bobby Brownlie (RHP, So, Rutgers) gets
the ball for Team USA.
