China has won the bid to host the table tennis World Veteran Championships in 2010, it was announced in Zagreb on Tuesday. Jacoby Ellsbury Jersey . Hohot of Inner Mongolia in northern China staved off strong bids from Stockholm of Sweden, Nice of France and Rotarua of New Zealand, enabling China to host the event for the first time. Hohot was awarded the event following the meeting of the Swaythling Club International at the Liebherr World Championships in Zagreb on Monday. It was a very even race between Sweden and China, said Hans Westling, chairman of the World Veteran Championships Committee. We will give Sweden the option to bid for 2012, their bid was impressive. The hosting of the event in Hohot will be the 14th since the first was in May 1982 in Stockholm. Hohots bid was very strong; one hundred and sixty table in a new sports hall; not an exhibition center, such venues can present problems, said Westling. Three halls will be used all under the same roof, each with a wooden floor, the venue sounds tremendous. The last World Veteran Championships was held in Bremen of Germany in 2006. The next event will be staged in Rio de Janeiro in 2008.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Prince Fielders three-run homer in the first inning proved to be all Milwaukee needed, as the Brewers held off the Phillies, 6-2, to avoid a three-game sweep at Citizens Bank Park. Rickie Weeks had three hits, scored a run, and drove in a run for the Brewers, who went just 1-5 against Philadelphia this season. Corey Hart also had an RBI and a run scored. Randy Wolf (11-10), who pitched the first eight years of his career in Philadelphia, gave up two runs on seven hits over 6 2/3 innings to improve to 4-1 over his last six starts. The left-hander also struck out five and walked two. Its nice to at least go home on a positive note, Brewers manager Ken Macha said.

The visitors tacked on another run in the fourth when George Kottaras doubled and scored on Weeks two-out base hit for a 5-2 game. The Phillies had a chance to make things interesting in the eighth. John Axford walked Ryan Howard with one out. After Werth struck out, Shane Victorino walked. The runners moved up one base on a wild pitch. Francisco, though, flied out to end the threat. Milwaukee added an insurance run in the ninth. Scott Mathieson, who pitched a scoreless eighth, stayed on for the ninth. Hart walked and Braun singled to get things started.
