Lowell, MA- The Chinese National team visited
Lowell Friday night to take on the All-Americans. It was all
China in this one touching up starter Alex Szymanski (Franklin
Pierce/Londonberry,NH) who allowed 4 runs off of 4 hits and a 2
run home run to begin the game. He would settle down not
allowing another run until a solo shot off the bat of Zhang
Yufeng making the score 5-0 in the fourth. China would not score
again until a 2 run home run to right field in the 8th made it a
7-0 Chinese lead. China would tack on two more to make the final
9-0.
This was an exhibition game between the Chinese National team
and the Lowell All-Americans, the Chinese team has been training
in Arizona since April in preparation for this summer’s Olympic
Games in Beijing. The All-Americans were one of many stops this
summer for the Chinese team as they played a full schedule of
opponents in the NECBL.
Lowell will travel to Sanford, Maine tomorrow night to play the
Mainers, and will return home on Monday to play host to the
Keene Swamp Bats at 6:30 at Stoklosa Alumni field in Lowell. The
All-Americans are 7-7 in the league and look to keep working
their way towards the top of the standings.
