Israel Have No Problems Winning over GB

Until the bottom of the fourth inning, Great Britain was still pretty much in the game, trailing only 5-3, but the Israelis suddenly scored six runs and broke the final part of British resistance.

The Brits scored twice in the top of fifth and tried to avoid the game ending by the mercy rule, but a single successful run in bottom did exactly that.

What’s interesting is that first hit by the Israelis came from Harrouche in the fourth inning, when the score was already 9-3 for them.

“We kind of slept through the first innings. We weren’t miserable at bat and we were doing just fine in the field as well, but our pitching wasn’t good. As a result, we gave away too many walks,” said GB coach Josh Peat.

On the other side, Brian Klaff was happy about the result. “We won two out of four games so far. Sure, winning three of them would have been better, but it’s still quite good. We now have to get ourselves into the playoffs,” he said.
