ISB showed its home town fans in Beijing that it too can play long ball. With the score knotted at 5 against arch rival Shanghai American School in the top of the 7th, ISB leadoff hitter Phil Schloss unloaded on a Nic Syzdek fastball with two men on, hitting a towering shot over the left field wall giving ISB a three run advantage that proved to be the decisive blow. ISB held on to win 8-7 after Shanghai came charging back with 2 runs in the bottom of the 7th.
Jumping out to a quick 4-0 lead, ISB could not hold back the Shanghai bats. Charlie Gao hit a two run home run to deep center as Shanghai came within one of ISB in the bottom of the 7th. Goldsworthy also added two RBIs for Shanghai.
For host ISB, Jason Christian added two RBI’s to the cause as well as some great defense, including a game ending double play with Shanghai threatening. Ryan Young also had two RBIs for ISB.
Freshman Alan Chen pitched well for ISB, going all the way into the seventh inning. Chen was relieved by last night’s starter, Andrew Goodwin, who got the last two outs, stranding the tying run at second.
