On Saturday, we defeated Teruclinic 4-1 in the opener of the Ishikawa Tournament at Chatan Stadium. I was blessed to receive the nod as the starting pitcher. I threw 3 innings giving up only one earned run. I took a liner of the inside of my left leg on a come backer that resulted in the final out of the second inning. The only run was on a 2-out double with a runner on 3rd. I was behind in the count 2-1, and so I serve him u a fat fastball right down the pipe. This was my first actual win in a real tournament game since the beginning of my career.
Teruclinic is a strong team with a few former independent pro players. They usually send their players to the Ehime Mandarin Pirates in the Shikoku Independent baseball league. We also took the second game of the double-header against Okikoku, and will play Okiden next Saturday!

God bless you!
