Maybe they should make this a proper 16-team double elimination tournament played at Canton, MI's Softball City over the course of a weekend.

yeah to me that's the problem with round-robin play, esp. when they're gonna have filler teams like south africa who will inevitably get hammered. too many ties, this isn't soccer, if you want to do round-robin correctly i think you'd need each team to play each other twice.

"The Japanese coach ordered a bunt from the second – and without doubt first-rate – batter of the team, and as a result, presented the opponents with their second out.
I am sure that, for our experienced team, that would seemed an error whichever elemental way it is analyzed."

You didn't miss much; Oswald just got shellacked when the Jap hitters figured him out and started slapping singles to the opposite field. Brian Roberts did not help.

singles and doubles and triples you mean
― (*ﾟーﾟ)θ L(。･＿･) °~ヾ(･ε･ *) (Steve Shasta), Monday, 23 March 2009 01:56 (fifteen years ago) link
I will argue that the triples were caused by overall defensive ineptitude on USA part but I agree with you generally. Also, Japans are short so they're low to the ground so it doesn't take as long for them to lift and lower their legs therefore they are speedy little twerps.
