Chinese Taipei has reached the final of the 2017 World
Port Tournament in Rotterdam.
They defeated Japan 4-2 on Friday. Behind a strong
starting pitcher Sheng Feng Wu, who held Japan to four hits and a walk in five
scoreless innings, Chinese Taipei took a 4-0 lead. Japan threatened to come
back against the bullpen, but two runs were too little too late.
Meanwhile Cuba is the second team besides the
Netherlands, which has been eliminated from the finals race. They dropped their
matchup 3-5 against Curacao. Two runs in the top of the ninth completed the
upset. Yusniel Ibanez hit a home run for Cuba.
Cuba is now facing the Dutch team in the game for
fourth place on Saturday, while Curacao plays Japan for a spot in the final.
