USA Baseball Falls to 1-2
Team USA baseball held the Netherlands to just one hit yesterday with an amazing 11 strikeout performance from the lone college player, Stephen Strasburg, but fell to defending champion Cuba, 5-4 in eleven innings on Friday.
San Ramon Valley alum Nate Schierholtz was 1 for 4 with an RBI double against Cuba.
Outfielder Jayson Nix left the game in the top of the eleventh after he hit a foul ball off his eye. Nix, a key part of the team, is likely to miss the rest of the Olympics.
Despite the loss, Team USA made solid contact on the ball all day.
