Apat na koponan sa pangunguna ng powerhouse Chinese-Taipei ang makikipag-unahan sa puwesto para sa World Series sa susunod na buwan sa pagbubukas ng 30th Asia-Pacific Zone Pony Baseball Championships sa Rizal baseball field.

Makakaharap ng Taiwanese, na huling nagwagi sa event noong naka-raang dalawang taon, ang Koreans sa ganap na alas-11:00 ng umaga sa laban na inaasahang magiging preview ng kampeonato na nagsisilbing regional elimination para sa Pony World Series na nakatakda sa Pennsylvania, USA sa susunod na buwan.

Isang simpleng seremonya sa ganap na alas-10 ng umaga ang mag-huhudyat ng apat na araw na torneong inorganisa ni Pony Baseball Southeast Asian representative at RP Tot Baseball president Rodolfo ‘Boy’ Tingzon Jr.

Nakatakdang magtagpo ang Filipino clouters at Japanese sa alas-2 ng hapon.

"We’re really excited because it’s the first time that we are hosting this big event," ani Tingzon, vice-chairman ng organizing committee ng torneong itinataguyod ng Jollibee, Purefoods at Coca-cola at suportado ng Philippine Sports Commission at Pagcor.

Bibigyan naman ng parangal ng Asia-Pacific Zone baseball ang ama ni Tingzon na si Rodolfo ‘Totoy’ Sr. sa pagtatatag ng youth baseball leagues hindi lamang sa bansa kundi sa buong Asia-Pacific region noong kaagahan ng 1960 kung saan tinawag siyang "Father of Youth Baseball."

"I wish to congratulate my valued and long-time friend, Rodolfo Tingzon, Sr., for his untiring support for the development of baseball in the Asia-Pacific region," ayon sa ipinadalang mensahe ni Itoh kay Tingzon.
