Taiwan’s national softball team finished second to win silver at the 7th Asian Junior

Women’s Softball Championship, which concluded in the Philippines on Friday.

The team lost 0-4 to their Japanese opponents in the final playoff of the six-day tournament, which was held at the Villages Softball Field in Clark, Pampanga, Philippines, this week.

Head coach Tseng Hsin-chang (曾信彰) told CNA after the match that he was satisfied with the team’s overall performance, especially in an earlier game against China, whom they defeated 4-2 to reach the final on Friday.
Tseng said his players possess the skills, but still fell behind the Japanese in terms of the concept of batting, pitching and defensive play.

Taiwan’s team members were drafted from five different schools, including National Puli Industrial Vocational Senior High School in Nantou County and Shilin High School of Commerce in Taipei.    [FULL  STORY]
