===

The Women's Baseball Association Japan announced that the female national team (the one that will be competing at the Women's Baseball World Cup in August) will be playing two exhibition games against a mixed Girls Professional Baseball League team on April 21 and 22 at Wakasa Stadium Kyoto.  Players from the GPBL will also be scouted for the national team.

===

The NPB's Samurai Japan steering committee met for the first time on Tuesday in Tokyo and  discussed a number of issues, including the possibility of scheduling international exhibition games in the fall.

The IBAF posted the schedule for the 5th Women's Baseball World Cup (via Nikkan Sports).

UPDATE 8/11 @ 12:59am - Changes were announced by the IBAF on August 10.  From the official site:

Due to the delayed arrival of Team Venezuela because of visa problems, their opening match against Japan at Telus Field will be re-scheduled from Friday, August 10, 3pm to Wednesday, August 15, 11am. Venezuela now is expected to enter the competition on Saturday, August 11 against host Canada.

There are additional changes to the original schedule. Game #2 between Cuba and Australia on Friday, August 10 will be moved from John Fry Park to Telus Field and from 2 to 3pm local time. On Saturday all four games will be played at Telus Field. At 10am in game #5 Chinese Taipei faces Cuba, at 1.30pm in game #6 the Netherlands take on Japan, at 4.30pm in game #7 Australia plays against the United States and at 8pm in game #8 Venezuela squares off with Canada.

The Women's Baseball Association of Japan (WBAJ) decided today that Hiroshi Shintani will be managing women's national team at next year's Women's World Cup in Edmonton, Canada.

Shintani is currently manager of the women's baseball team at Shobi University and has also been a coach with the women's national team during the last two World Cup tournaments (2008 and 2010).

The former manager of the national team, Koichi Okura, will take over as the chairman of the WBAJ.

Via the IBAF website:

After the suspension of games, the IBAF has announced the revised schedule that will see the tournament restart in Maracay Venezuela.

The schedule will not include Hong Kong, as they have elected to withdraw from the competition and return home to Hong Kong.

Not too surprised that Hong Kong decided to withdraw from the tournament, especially since it was one of their own players that was struck by a stray bullet.

The update also mentions that the following 6 games will be played on the 15th:

South Korea Vs. USA at 10 am, Aviacion Stadium
Japan Vs. South Korea at 2 pm, Aviacion Stadium
Cuba Vs. USA at 6pm, Aviacion Stadium

Puerto Rico Vs. Cuba at 10 am, Jose Perez C. Stadium
Australia Vs. Netherlands at 3 pm Jose Perez C. Stadium
Chinese Taipei Vs Venezuela at 7pm, Jose Perez C. Stadium

The Associated Press is reporting that a player on the Hong Kong team was hit by a stray bullet during a game against the Netherlands at Jose A. Casanova Stadium in Caracas, Venezuela during the second day of the Women's Baseball World Cup on the 13th.

Sanspo mentions that the remaining games on schedule for the 13th and all the games on the 14th were being postponed.  The IBAF plans on meeting with the heads of each of the teams at the tournament on the 14th to discuss what course of action to take moving forward.

The Hong Kong player that was hit by the stray bullet was taken to a hospital and is apparently ok.

The 2010 Women's Baseball World Cup got underway in Caracas and Maracay Venezuela on the 8/12.
