USA-Japan High School Baseball Games
The USA-Japan High School Baseball Games recently took place at the Urban Youth Academy Baseball Field in Compton, California. The exchange started in 2006 and current Rakuten Golden Eagles ace Masahiro Tanaka was included on the Japan roster of the first series.
The three-game series between the two teams ended up without a real winner as it concluded with one win, one loss and one tie for both teams. The overall run total ended up with the Urban Youth Academy scoring 15 runs versus Japan’s 16 runs, so if you really want to determine a winner, Japan is your answer.
Game 1: Japan 8 – Urban Academy 5
Game 2: Japan 2- Urban Academy 2
Game 3: Japan 6- Urban Academy 8
The Japan team roster (link in Japanese) included a couple of top candidates for this year’s draft.
