(2) Scotland 16 (15) France 0
VWBC
VADUZ - "What a thrashing." the words of Scotland's head coach, Hamish Argy best describe today's 16-0 "thrashing" of France by Scotland. A fierce baseball rivalry exists between the two European countries, and in both this match had been anticipated months, ever since the pairing was announced. The French were protesting for weeks after their 15th seeding, saying they deserved better. Scotland's players boldly challenged the French to stop whining and prove it on the field, which the French of course responded to with equal vehemence. Despite their complaints, trash talk, and the like, the French have nothing to say after the slaughter tonight. Their starter was taken out in the first inning after giving up 4 runs without even recording an out, and it went from there. The Scots hit 9, yes that is not a typo, 9 home runs, and the French used every pitcher on their roster, none of whom could find an answer for the Scottish attack. The French will have no consolation, not even one run, to look back on, as the Scottish defense was dominating and the French bats were quiet, scoring only one hit. The Scots certainly have bragging rights in this fierce rivalry, and it has been speculated that the French players will scarcely be able to show their faces for months. It will most definitely be two miserable years for French baseball until they have the chance to avenge their defeat on the world's most important baseball stage, for the VWBC is tentatively set to take place every two years. After what is sure to be a few nights of rowdy partying across Scotland, they will turn their attention to their second round match with 10th seeded Greece, undoubtedly brimming with confidence from this total victory, Scotland is shaping up to be a formidable threat to win this tournament at this early stage.
