The Singapore Eagles proved what seemed to be true from the moment they arrived in Beijing on Friday afternoon. They were the team to beat in the China Cup Tournament. With their 14-4 victory over Hong Kong International School they proved most observers right and got to take home the China Cup Championship trophy in their first appearance in a China Cup tournament.
Singapore was led by pitcher Billy Fulton who scattered seven hits over 5 innings. Fulton also went three for three at the plate for the Eagles. Battery mate, catcher Matt Fay, also went three for three. Singapore’s run machine was powered by 3 RBIs from Evan Petty, 2 RBIs from Dylan Howell and 2 RBIs from Michael Szopiak. Daniel Davis went three for four for the Eagles. Chris Ryan and Michael Chang added some good defense for Singapore to cap an undefeated run in the tourney.
HKIS’ Andrew “the Walrus” Wallis threw strong for Hong Kong, striking out 10 with and his fastball reaching 75mph on the radar gun at various times throughout the game. Wallis also added two RBIs and went 2 for 3 for HKIS. Alex Sherr knocked in the other 2 HKIS runs. Austin Young went 3 for 3 for HKIS and Kevin Matthews got the only other HKIS hit off of Fulton.
