Bats Come Through in USA Victory
The United States overcame a 3-0 deficit to beat Denmark today by the score of 9-4. Denmark got the on the board early with timely hitting but in the end the US bats decided to wake up and score. Omar Moraga led the charge with three hits including a solo shot to get the US on the board. When asked how he was seeing the ball, Moraga said, ”The ball was looking real big today. It had a cowboy hat on it.”
Frank Degroat continued his power surge with a bigger blast than yesterday, giving the United States its second run of the day. The crowd, estimated to be around 200 people, rose to their feet as the ball traveled well over 350 feet. As Degroat crossed the plate the home fans cheered, showing their appreciation for the bomb.
The US pitching staff struggled with control early but were able to minimize the damage and hold off the surging Denmark team. Travis Price came in relief to shut the door and record the victory. Next up for the United States is japan at 8:00PM Tuesday night.
