REMEMBER WE WON THE IBERIC CUP BY BEATING THE SPANISH CHAMPIONS

SilvioSilva plays for Academica and he wrote the following

unfortunatly we lost the championship on the last game of the champioship series... besides that, we won every other trophy this year.
But he main victory was the Iberian league! That was the one we really wanted more than any other... I honestly dont believe any portuguese team (including us) will be able to win the Iberian League in the near future.
From what i've heard, with the new field being finished and ready for the next season, and all the good publicity generated from the level and organization of the competition, some major spanish teams are interested in participating next year (teams with Pro, or Semi-pro rosters. This year was a all amateur tournment). Baseball in Portugall is still an Amateur Sport, we wont be able to beat those teams, but if they keep coming to this competition this will help portuguese baseball to develop a lot faster. On a more selfish note, I'm thriled on the possibility of facing those teams!! I cant wait to see some 90 Mph pitches and some 400ft homers live in portuguese ground

2004 champions was Academica

Last year Champion was Academica de Coimbra
Tigres of Loule vs Villas Vikings [Vila do Conde]
PAZ Basebol Club[Oliveira de Azemeis] vs Academica de Aveiro


SÉRIE A ARRANCA JÁ AMANHÃ
Basebol: Um novo Nacional com duas divisões Paulo Henriques

Ac. Coimbra fica de folga na primeira ronda

Serie B
Lisboa Basebol Clube, White Sharks de Almada, Caciques de Espinho, Latinos da Bairrada, e Bravos de Coimbra


Este ano, pela primeira vez na história da Federação Portuguesa de Basebol (FPB), o Campeonato Nacional vai ter duas divisões, a Série A e a Série B. O arranque da divisão principal é já amanhã, com a realização de um jogo da 1.ª jornada entre os Tigres de Loulé e os Villas Vikings (Vila do Conde). A partida entre PAZ Basebol Clube (Oliveira de Azeméis) e a Académica de Aveiro foi adiada, enquanto a Académica de Coimbra, actual campeã nacional, fica de descanso na ronda de abertura.

Naturalmente, a Série A será muito mais exigente do que a Série B e com os campeonatos de anos anteriores, tanto ao nível de número mínimo de jogadores e treinadores a apresentar nos jogos, como também nos rigorosos requisitos em relação aos campos de jogos e equipamentos, pelo que as equipas vão ter sanções mais elevadas se não cumprirem o novo regulamento. Entre as novidades mais interessantes está o regresso às origens do basebol: é obrigatório usar tacos de madeira, e não de alumínio, o que dá um "toque" mais "clássico" ao jogo.

A menos competitiva Série B, que deverá contar com as restantes equipas nacionais (Lisboa Basebol Clube, White Sharks de Almada, Caciques de Espinho, Latinos da Bairrada, e Bravos de Coimbra), ainda não tem data marcada para arrancar.

Selecção

De referir que no passado fim-de-semana, a FPB organizou uma de várias provas para a Selecção Nacional, em Abrantes, onde será localizado o primeiro campo oficial de basebol em Portugal. De acordo com dados da federação, a construção do campo já foi adjudicada, e as obras deverão começar em breve, para o campo estar pronto em Fevereiro de 2006.

Top of the 5th

Mexico -0-USA-1 home run by Derek Lee

[jec1]

Im surprised that are only up 1-0

[Frank Cunha]

2-0 in the 7th inning

a surprise was a win by South Korea over Japan

[Frank Cunha]

game over

USA-2-Mexico-0

Canada vs Mexico should decide the other second place team.

[UltraViseu]

USA all the way.

[Frank Cunha]

surprise in the making

5th inning

Canada -3-South Africa -4

[UltraViseu]

This is quite a shock. S. Africa and thew Netherlands are probably teams that no one expected a win from. Actually people believed these temas could not even compete. Could this be the biggest surprise of the tourney?

I hear the world cup will be every 4 years, does anybody got the answer
