Goes yard again...and he's hit a couple of other balls well

Pinch-hitting, Adam Greenberg of the Chicago Cubs

Greenberg has a somewhat interesting story. In 2005 he made his major league debut. He was hit in the head with a fastball, diagnosed with a concussion, and has yet to play another game in the majors.

Schlomo Lipetz on to protect the 7 - 0 lead.

Walks 3 of 4 hitters.

Jeff Kaplan of the Mets is in

South Africa comes up with 3 runs in the bottom of the ninth.

An error by Dodgers/Israel's SS Jake Lemmerman didn't help

But, Lemmerman makes the out on the final play of the game


Highlights

[filihok]

Canada vs Great Britain

Former major leaguer and 40 year old Shawn Hill on the mound for Canda

ETA: Hill's always been a pitcher with talent who couldn't stay healthy.

In 239 career major league innings, not much more than a full season's worth, he has 3.6 WAR.

He succeeds by getting a lot of groundballs.

The Dodgers' 22 year-old Chris Reed starts for Great Britain.

I'll be hoping for a good outing for him
