The furthest away from home on the baseball diamond at this year’s Jupiters Pan Pacific Masters Games, is most certainly the Indigo Baseball team, swinging in all the way from Japan.
This is the second year the Tokushimi based team have competed in the Games, and they are just as excited to return.
“We are very happy to be here,” coach and player Masamichi Nakagawa said.
“The Australian teams are always fun to play against.”
The team is certainly one of the friendliest on the field, and they are more than happy to share their culture and learn about Australia through the game of baseball.
The Indigo’s enjoy the challenge of playing against Australian teams, saying that the difference in batting style has made the games interesting to participate in.
“Australians are very powerful, they like to hit big,” Masamichi said.
“In Japan, we like to bunt the ball, so it’s been very different, but very fun.”
The team have thoroughly enjoyed the competition, and are happy to keep coming back to Australia to compete in Jupiters Pan Pacific Masters Games in years to come.
The new scheme was born here and filagra this is not anything that we would like to see. Caverta although better in some elements but not important for us.
