This didn't age well, as expected

 

no, the strike is still on...

 

I only posted a short news/comment because today the games were in a favourable time of the day and I could watch them live...

 

but I won't call a single word of that post back...

Ah, I also only strike when I'm sleeping.

 and  are both through to the next round while  and  are both eliminated.

 

 beat  3-0 while  beat  5-0.

[phelps 8,715]

it took 7 innings, but finally Chinese Taipei scored the go-ahead run against Venezuela, followed by the second and later in the 9th by a 3rd run...

 

so, they won 3-0 and did qualify for the main round together with Japan, who won 4-0 against Puertorico (all of the Japanese runs were scored in the 3rd inning)...

 

VEN and PUR will play tomorrow not to end up dead last in group B, meanwhile JPN and TPE will play a very important game, as the final score is going to be carried over in the Super-Round...

 

 

in Seoul, instead, after Canada's win over Cuba, the Host Nation didn't have any problem in their debut against Australia...5-0 for the Koreans the final score...

 

Tomorrow, Cuba and Australia will fight against each other to keep their hopes to fly to the Super-Round alive, meanwhile South Korea and Canada will play a game which most likely is going to determine the group winners and to be carried over in the next round...

definitely not the mighty Cubans we used to see anymore...

 

however, most likely this result won't change Cuba's destiny in any case, as I don't see them beating this Korean team in Seoul tomorrow...

player was having a home-run jog, when he realized it's not actually a home-run.

[phelps 8,715]

easy task for Japan against Chinese Taipei...8-1 the final score in their favour...

 

a lot closer and more interesting, intead, the late game played in Seoul, where South Korea won 3-1 against Canada and basically earned their spot in the Super-Rouind (provided they're not thrashed out by the Cubans tomorrow and at the same time Canada give Australia a lesson)...

 

so far, we know already 4 of the 6 teams going to play the Super-Round: Mexico, USA (with MEX carrying the win against the US guys over from the preliminary round), Japan and Chinese Taipei (with today's Japanese win against TPE also counting in the SR ranking)...

 

if tomorrow in group C everything goes according to plan, South Korea and Canada also qualify for the SR, which would lead to a direct match-up between KOR and TPE for the Asian Olympic Quota and to an interesting battle between MEX, CAN and USA for the American Olympic Quota...

...and  Canada loses to  Australia for the fifth straight time. 

 

Now we'll have to wait for the game between  South Korea and  Cuba to find out who's the last team to go through
