Osaka Dome

This is a video of the opening game for the season. After the Japanese anthem, you can see me wearing the number 44 uniform lined up with the Rangers.

End of the Year

The baseball season is officially over! It's been a wonderful 4 months of being with the team. Our last game was played at the Chatan stadium in Mihama. We fell to Meio University a mist the wind and rain 10-6. It's been a long season for all these guys and I believe everyone just ran out of gas!

Training continues starting next week, but baseball operations are over. We'll see what's going to happen next as the field of dreams continues. Stay tuned! Stay blessed!

Fukuoka

In the beginning of this month, we headed to Fukuoka for a week long tournament. It was baseball and everyday hotel living for the entire week. When we first arrived, the very next day we had a game against the top University in Fukuoka. We lost in the bottom of the 9th 5-4! it was just a practice game to prepare for the tournament. The tournament consisted of about 5 games maximum with losing 2 games and you're out. So it was a double elimination tourny. To make things brief, we lost the first game 8-1 to a technical college team before going on to upset Nissan in the second game. It was quite incredible to have the chance to play Nissan in their last game as a company team and beat them. Nissan has shut down all baseball operations as of November.

The final game for us was against Mittsubishi, who shut us down 13-0. I was blessed to throw a few innings here and there. The first full tourny I was able to participate in was quite interesting. Just another day of life playing ball in Japan while sharing the good News of Jesus Christ. Thank you for continuing to pray for the work God is doing through baseball! Amen.
