may be a little late starting the up dates as i am off to talk to the samoa coaching staff - they are currently leading the usa 3-1 and we are in the top of the sixth - come on samoa! how would it be for all three oceania teams to be featuring next weekend
Samoa have beaten the USA 3-2 - Samoa starting pitcher Zane Siolo's birthday present from his team-mates
Our boys are wearing their black uniform this afternoon
both teams are out doing their warm ups game is about not too far away the grounds people are just applying the polish to Freeman Field
the teams are just being introduced to the crowd - Columbia have been done and now it is the Black Sox ... there is a good crowd here at Rosedale Park, but there is room for more so if you are in Auckland get here now!!
Here comes the haka - I wonder what is going through the minds of the Colombia team
camacho waked
galle first one is called a strike, secon is fouled off, third low and a ball, called strike out looking
Araujo swing and a miss, ball, strike, strike and gone - two outs, one to go
perez strike, strike, ball, ball, strikeout
nathan nukunuku ball, ball, strike (called), fouled over third, ball. full count. caught in left field
i think there must be some birds in the Colombia dugout - maybe garth morgan has come up with some birds as I have not seen any cats here
tyson byrne gets the walk - scores the opening run man that guy is fast. shows no effects of last night's concussion as he steals to second and then comes a series of errors and tyson makes the most and home he comes
donny hale caught out in the right field
brad rona can the local man do it, walked
jarrad martin to short out at three
pren is the first out of the innings
aparicio strikeout for second out of the innings
Guzman strikeout
penese is doing well
ben enoka out going to one
tyron bartorillo - is called out for illegal batting by the blue and here comes eddie to ask what the ... all three blues are having a talk now will they change their mind no ...
patrick shannon up the middle 6-3
still 1-0
pacheco lovely diving catch from brad for the first out
gomez nice play here - pense to nathan at first with the player attempting to bunt. saw nathan's family this afternoon - loved their tee shirts printed especially!!
camacho out going to first
thomas makea gets the walk and then he successfully steals
nathan nukunuku with the sacrfice bunt and does his job with thomas sitting on third. nathan was close to being safe at one too - but then again i am not an umpire and nor am i that close to the action
byrne out with the catch. thomas still at third and two down
donny hale this one has gone but bad luck there is a Colombia outfielder under it
change for the black sox donny is back in the dugout and wayne laulu is out in the right field
uribe strikeout
lugo walked to first
perez forces the error from brad we now have runners on second and first and just one out. black sox are having a meeting wih the infielders - i don't think it is about what's for dinner tonight either

aparicio caught swinging
brad rona walked, on jarrad's bunt he gets to third and on ben's hit he doubles the score
jarrad martin nice bunt and forces the out
ben enoka up the middle gets to second
bartorillo tagged out in the right field

jeremy manley now gets his turn on the mound
