Comments on the match today
Fabian Barlow (AUS) - Head Coach
"I am very happy obviously. Today we had a tough game this morning against Canada when we need to bounce back from the behind then we came up tonight. The fantastic batter gave us one-run lead and we toughed it out and went on to win. "
You were just setting back waiting for that pitch, you just jumped down it, were you looking for that pitch?
Stacey Porter (AUS) - Homered
"Yeah. I probably say yes a little bit. At this level I guess you could say guessing the pitch. Every at bat I go up there, I know I was looking for certain pitch. So probably I could say I was waiting for that inside pitch. And I was very lucky that I got it."
