"Japan went back ahead on a Masataka Yoshida two-run homer off one-time Braves farmhand Jon Kennedy. Ky Hampton then failed to follow up McDonald's dance through the raindrops, as he walked four (including walking in a run) while recording just one out, making it a 4-1 game. Southern Thunder then made it a bit of a nail-biter as Alex Hall and Rixon Wingrove hit homers off Taisei Ota to make it a one-run game."
"This game wasn't really close despite the score. It was 4-1 after an inning, as Luis Patino struggled again and gave up a three-run homer to Ariel Martinez before recording his only out of the game. Erisbel Arruebarrena added a solo shot to chase Patino."
"Luis Severino cruised through four innings for Team D.R., and Albert Abreu followed with two strong frames of his own. The same could not be said for Oranje pitchers, who collectively had nothing en route to a 5/11 K/BB ratio and four homers all."
Sunday's international baseball pool play produced mixed results across three games. Japan edged Australia 4-3 in a tight contest, with Masataka Yoshida's two-run homer providing crucial runs before Australia mounted a late rally that fell short. Cuba defeated Colombia 7-4 in a game less competitive than the final score suggested, with Luis Patino struggling early and allowing a three-run homer to Ariel Martinez. Dominican Republic dominated Netherlands 12-1, with Luis Severino pitching efficiently through four innings and Albert Abreu adding two strong frames. The Dominican pitching staff controlled the game while Netherlands pitchers struggled significantly, allowing four home runs and posting poor strikeout-to-walk ratios.
