New Life in Canada

so far so good

Team Korea made the most of its three hits to remain unbeaten in the inaugural World Baseball Classic, getting a clutch two-run double in the eighth inning from Jong Beom Lee on the way to a 2-1 victory over Japan in a beautifully pitched game Wednesday night at Angel Stadium.

Before the game, a techno version of Bryan Adams' "Heaven" blared through the speakers. After the game, Korea's 6-0 squad celebrated on the field as if it had indeed moved on to a glorious baseball afterlife.

One place the players won't be going is into their country's military. Prior to the start of the second round, the Korean government announced that it would waive for its players the mandatory three-year stint in the armed forces imposed on every Korean male -- if the team reached the semifinals in San Diego.

Wednesday's win made that a reality, but it certainly wasn't easy...

I have watched this game on TV at home in Canada.
It finished at 12 o'clock at night. Really I got impressed!!
Team Korea will fight against USA again to advance to final.
I wish I would watch the game. Good Luck!!
