GB bounce back with victory over the USA

By BBF •

After a tough one-run loss in their opening game against Czechia, the GB Blind Baseball team bounced back with a 9-0 victory over the USA in game two.

Following a scoreless first inning, GB got on the board in the second. With two runs already scored and two outs, Steven Smith hit a home run, bringing Matt Cliff and Holly Graham home to end the inning by rule with five runs.

The USA remained scoreless and, in the fourth inning, GB added four more runs to extend their lead to 9-0, a score they would maintain through to the end of the game.

“Today was the GB that we know we can be” said Head Coach John Eaton.

“Everything came together that we have trained for and knew we could achieve.”

Steven Smith finished the game with three runs, four hits and four RBIs. Matt Cliff went 5-for-5, including three RBIs, while Holly Graham drove in the other two runs.

Next up for GB is unbeaten Cuba, who are currently 2-0, tomorrow afternoon, 2 October. You can watch the game live and free on the WBSC YouTube channel.
