Chinese Taipei beats South Africa, books ticket into Super Round
Chinese Taipei beat South Africa, 12-0, in five innings and qualified for the Super Round of the VI WBSC U-12 Baseball World Cup.
The defending World Champions didn't waste time, as South Africa's starting pitcher Sithembisio Chuma had yet to record an out when Chinese Taipei already led 2-0.
South Africa reached base once on a walk by starter Shao Chieh Ko. Yun Zhou Qiu followed, pitching two perfect innings.
Chinese Taipei combined for 12 hits. Left fielder Yu Hsiang Yeh went 3-for-3 with two RBIs.
Chinese Taipei (3-1) will face next Italy (1-3) to close Group A's Opening Round. The hosts will participate in the Super Round, but the final group standings will determine the seedings with Venezuela (4-0) and Mexico (3-1) also meeting Tuesday.
