Rattler Olympic Report

I really tried to stay awake to watch the Taiwan vs. Cuba game on Telemundo last night. But, I fell asleep after Cuba took the lead on a home run by Frederich Cepeda in the seventh inning. That was the only run in a 1-0 win for the Cubans.

Kuo Hui Lo ('07) went 0-for-4 for Taiwan.

Michael Saunders ('06) went 0-for-4 with an RBI for Canada in a 5-4 loss to the USA.

Both Taiwan and Canada are now 1-2.

Canada faces Japan on Monday. Taiwan's next game is against Korea.
