GAME TWO: USA 4, Taiwan 3
The nightcap was a see-saw affair that had the Red, White and Blue taking a
1-0 lead in the third on Howard's two-out, line drive that scored Rickie
Weeks (OF, Fr, Southern). The single ran Howard's hitting streak to a
team-high 12 games in which he's batting .500 (21-for-42).
But Taiwan stunned Ben Thurmond (RHP, So, Winthrop) for a pair of runs in
the fifth, after the Team USA righty had cruised thru the first four frames.
Ko Fan Chen scored on Chih Kang Kao's single, and then Yang Yueh Tseng
tripled home Kao to make it 2-1. Jeff Baker's (IF, So, Clemson) rbi-single
in the bottom of the fifth brought home Jeremy Reed (IF, So, Long Beach St.)
and the score was tied.
Taiwan took another brief one-run lead in the top of the sixth, but Chris
Snyder (C, So, Houston) led off the bottom half with a triple into the gap.
Sam Fuld (OF, Fr, Stanford) followed with a clutch double that knocked
Taiwanese starter Chih Chia Chang out of the game. After a sacrifice bunt
got Fuld to third, he was able to plate the go-ahead run on Carlos Quentin's
(OF, Fr, Stanford) sacrifice fly, by barely sneaking around Kao's tag attempt
on the throw home.
Thurmond (4-2) threw all seven innings to notch his fourth win. Chang (0-2)
took the loss.
The 2001 USA Baseball National Team Red, White and Blue Tour comes to a
conclusion tomorrow with a Friday afternoon doubleheader in Trenton, New
Jersey, beginning at 12:00 noon. Team USA and Taiwan play for the final time
this summer, with both games again scheduled to go seven innings. Team USA's
Kiki Bengochea (RHP, So, Miami) takes the mound in Game One, followed by
Bobby Brownlie (RHP, So, Rutgers) in the nightcap.
