Missouri State third baseman Jake Burger is up against international competition and a dangerous typhoon.
Burger is playing in Taiwan for a team of American college all-stars against Chinese Taipai, and Typhoon Nepartak is set to strike Taiwan soon. Baseball may have to wait for the storm to pass over the island.
According to a USA Today report, Taiwan is bracing for the arrival of Super Typhoon Nepartak, which could slam into the island nation late Thursday or early Friday.
High winds, heavy rains and crashing waves are all likely to hit Taiwan as the storm makes landfall.
