SWEDISH NATIONAL TEAM TO PLAY THREE GAMES IN USA

The Swedish National Team will be coming to America in May for three exhibition games against Northwoods League teams. The Swedes will play college summer baseball clubs in LaCrosse and Madison, Wisconsin as well as Brainerd, Minnesota as tuneups for the upcoming Baseball World Cup in September.


Mariners pitching prospect Christian Staehely and Phillies farmhand Adam Sorgi, a second baseman, are on the Swedish roster. The Swedes, who will host World Cup first round games in a new ballpark near Stockholm, are hoping to advance to the second round of the tourney.
