Liddi in World Juniors

I got a tip...Well, I didn't get it...It came in from Parma, Italy to the Timber Rattler general e-mail account and was passed along to me to do something with it. (That's usually what happens when stuff that nobody knows what to do with winds up there) Here is the tip:

Dear Sirs,
one of your players (Alex Liddi) hit 3 homers for Italy National Team at World Juniores Championship in Cuba.
I think it could be a good opportunity also for the Timber Rattlers to give visibility to this performance.

Best regards
Massimo Casorati
Parma - Italy

No idea against whom or on which date that Liddi had his three homer game, but if Massimo says it happened, it probably happened.

Seriously, though. There is no English language website with box scores that I can find. There is a Spanish language site that is HERE for the XXII Campeonato Mundial AAA de Beisol.

Searching through the links and navigating the language...Apparently (Beisbol is Spanish for Baseball. Huh? Who'da thunk?) If found a link to the box score of Monday's game against South Africa. That box score shows Liddi 3-for-3 with two homers, a double, three runs scored, and five RBI.

Must have been pent up frustrations let out after an 18-0 loss to the US on 9/21 and a 10-0 loss to Canada (Canada?) on 9/22.

For the tournament (Estadisticas is statistics? Really?) Liddi is hitting 7-for-16 (.438) with three homers for the tournament and a slugging PCT of 1.188. He has some RBI and it looks like there are nine, but I can't be sure and I have a couple of appointments to get to this afternoon so no time to go through this much longer.
