Hanoi Sluggers Power Thai Baseball in Singapore Tournament

December 4, 2013

Hanoi Capitals 14U players Captain Nhu Ngoc Quoc Thinh, Nguyen Duc Huy (pictured below) and Tran Trung Hieu were invited to join a newly formed team the Thai Sanook for the Turkey Tournament in Singapore last this weekend.  The Hanoi players donned Thai jerseys and performed well, accounting for four of the five home runs hit in the tournament, and leading their team to four wins.  Their team had a chance to win the tournament on the last day, but fell to Philippines.   Quoc Thinh (known as "Rabbit" for his speed) hit a long blast to centerfield vs Indonesia, and also raced to an inside-the-park HR in another game. Nguyen Duc Huy hit back to back dingers vs Rusa Hitam of Indonesia.  Tran Trung Hieu scored several runs getting on base a lot, and also had a couple doubles, and performed well behind the plate.  Nguyen Duc Huy won one game pitching and only gave up 2 runs over 5 innings to the strong BCS Club of Singapore.
