Impressive 10-2 win last night by Korea over Venezuela. The Korean team advances to the Finals where they will play the winner of the USA/Japan matchup.
As expected, Gerardo Parra did not play last night. However, after a tough start by Venezuelan pitcher Carlos Silva, former Silver Hawk Enrique Gonzalez ('01-'03) was summoned from the bullpen. Gonzalez continued his impressive classic by allowing only one unearned run in 3.2 innings, giving up just one hit and striking out two.
Interestingly enough, even though the Red Sox pulled some players off the USA team because of the injury risk, they decided to let Gonzalez stay and pitch the entire classic. I would have to imagine Boston is both happy and impressed with his 0.00 ERA in 9.2 innings.
Be sure to watch the USA/Japan game tonight at 8 PM on ESPN. I'll give an update tomorrow morning on the game, including some of the former players for the USA that played in the Midwest League.
Also, since we're in the final weeks of spring training, I'll start giving some more updates from Diamondbacks camp, including which former Silver Hawks might make the 25-man Opening Day roster.
Check back often.
