"It is grippingly funny, fantastically grotesque and endlessly moving," said the newspaper Der Tagesspiegel. How will it play outside Deutschland? The film has been sold...
...took the mound in the bottom of the inning. But after retiring the first two Northeastern hitters, Tsujikawa hit Brad Czarnowski with a low breaking ball and yielded an infield single to Chris Emanuele to put men on first and second.
