Shanghai thrashes Beijing 17-2 to Reclaim Golden Helmet

Shanghai American School came to Dragon Field intent on getting revenge against arch-rival ISB this morning. And revenge is what they got, and then some.

Jumping out to a 3 run early lead against Andrew Goodwin, the Shanghai Eagles dominated ISB in all areas the rest of the way, running away with a 17-2 victory, and reclaiming the Golden Helmet.

Backed by an overpowering performance by senior David Goldsworthy, Shanghai’s defense completely shutdown ISB’s offense. ISB managed only three hits and two runs against Goldsworthy over 5 innings. Goldsworthy struck out 10.

SAS’s Charlie Gao and Vikram Kulkarni had seven RBIs between them leading the Shanghai 18 hit attack. Daniel Osaki and Robert Wang also combined for five RBIs.

With the victory SAS has the Golden Helmut and bragging rights until ISB and SAS meet next at the APAC tournament in Shanghai in two weeks.
