Strawberry Boy

It's Ocean Day in Japan, so on my day off I went down to Itoman's Nishizaki Park to watch my buddy Rob "the Strawberry" Wunderlich pitch for his new team, the Enagic Bluehats. They were facing their fierce rivals, the Teru Clinic Blackberries.

Since Strawberry is new to the team, his uniform wasn't ready. So he borrowed from a teammate, and was #15 for the day. (Hence the nickname... 1 in Japanese is 'ichi' and 5 is 'go' - put together it's ichigo which is the Japanese word for strawberry.)

Anyways, Rob as usual was brilliant on the mound. In 2 innings of work he struck out 4 guys, and coaxed a double play out of another hitter. Check the video below (for facebook viewers, click on the link).

I had a great time watching the game, though I did get a little sunburnt! Worth it, though!



今日は海の日なので、仕事が休みだった！ロバートが新しい野球チームに属して、今日練習試合があった。ロバートは登場すると聞いたのでこの機会を見逃したらあかんと思って観に行った。ロバートはエナジクという会社チームに入った。今日は２回投げて三振を４つ記録して１失点だった。試合の結果はエナジクの勝利だったので嬉しかった。ロバート、お疲れ！これからも主のために思いっきり投げてね！
