Listen: The Tokyo Dome cheering…for us 🥹 ➡️
Truly moved that at the end of the game the entire Tokyo Dome chanting “Let’s Go Aussie.”
Honestly, very touched by the fan support at home and in Japan throughout this whole tournament and pre-camp.
The digital numbers back it up. Seeing 3,000+ people at games in Fuchu was incredible. Us being headline news in Japan was wild. The autographs. The messages of support from Australia. Love from our family. All of it.
It’s one of the reasons this tournament is so cool - we get to share our Aussie baseball culture and community with new people and invite them in.
We really felt connected to our supporters and tried our darn hardest to get through. Thanks for encouraging us and giving us strength.
That’s one of the reasons this feels so gutting.
The Australian baseball community is the best.
Don’t know what to say other than THANK YOU 🙏 💚
We played for you and hope we made you proud 💚
Every cheer. Every message. Every hug. We heard you. We felt you.
It’s an agonising way for the tournament to end and all the emotions are very real.
We showed we’re right there with the best in the world in tournament baseball, but still have some work to do.
The only way we can do it is together.
Let’s back each other, be kind, and inspire Australia to play this great game.
Hurting tonight but we’ll be back.
We love Australia and we love you 💚
