The United States came from behind to take a 5-1 victory as Matthew Dallas, Blake Mitchell and Bryce Eldridge combined to allow just three hits and one unearned run with seven strikeouts and just two walks against Chinese Taipei.

On offense, Bryce Eldridge stood out, hitting 1-2 with two runs scored and three RBIs, in addition to Maxwell Clark who went 3-4, enough to lead the United States to victory.

This achievement of victories will allow the United States to climb in the WBSC ranking during this year, heading for the World Baseball Classic tournament to be held in March 2023.
