Sunday morning, August, 30, I went with Shieh-Chi, my wife's niece, to the baseball field
near Yi-Zhong Street to watch her boyfriend play shortstop on their National
Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology (Dao-Ke Da) against Ming-Shing
College team from Hsinchu. His team lost 7-0 in a sudden death in the bottom of
the sixth; I guess a seven run deficit ended the game after a certain number of
innings, perhaps five for an official game. There were many errors, called and
uncalled, and a number of passed balls, wild pitches, and misplayed balls and
opportunities. There were a total of eleven struck out (with two walked) on her
boyfriend’s team while their pitcher walked four and struck out six. Dao-Ke had
one hit; Min-Shing had six including four in a four-run second inning. I didn’t
get the players’ names other than Son Zhen-Ning’s, but got most of their numbers and field positions, though
Dao-Ke made it hard with fifteen players used.
