The La Salle Lancer Baseball team hosted South Korea’s Duk Soo High School in a winter league baseball game on January 27 at La Salle’s home field at Arcadia County Park. This was the second year playing this friendship game.

After a big six-run first inning, the Lancers held off a Duk Soo comeback to win 7-6. Duk Soo High School produces some very good athletes who go on to play major league baseball in South Korea.

Both teams were excited to have the experience of a cross continental baseball experience as well as the cultural introductions. The teams are pleased with their new-found friendship and hope to make this game an annual event.
