Singapore’s Eagles advanced to the China Cup Championship game with a convincing 10-4 win over the Shanghai American School in the night cap of today’s full-slate of baseball.
Despite a strong pitching performance by Shanghai’s Jonathan Lau, Singapore remained unbeaten and will meet Hong Kong International School in Sunday’s finale. Singapore received a top notch pitching performance from Chris Young who pitched a complete game, allowing only four hits, three of those by Shanghai’s Vikram Kulkarni.
Senior Billy Fulton had three doubles for Singapore and three RBI’s while freshman James Taylor crushed a two run homer deep over the left field wall giving Singapore the lead for good.
Shanghai jumped out to a four run lead, and Lau looked dominating, striking out six in the first four innings. Most of Lau’s strikeouts came on wicked curveballs that baffled the Singapore hitters. Lau seemed to tire though in the 5th and the 6th innings as Singapore sent ten men and nine men to the plate in both innings respectively, scoring 5 runs in each frame. Dylan Howell, Matt Fay and Josh Block all contributed big hits for Singapore.
