Fourth inning 1:56 p. : Ball dribbles back to Li Fang-Mo, who deposits it to second base en route to securing an inning-ending double play. That's how you do it. 1:54 p. : Fang-Mo will want that pitch back, though. Hits the batter on the noggin while he attempted to lay down a bunt.

He's got seven strikeouts through ten batters, including catching Jaylliard Emperador with a fastball at the top of the zone. 1:49 p. : Decaster is in his bag. He's retired 11 straight batters. Looking like it could be a long day for Chinese Taipei's batters. 1:45 p. : What a play! Jaythan Cordilia makes a sensational diving grab to rob Wang Yuan-Fu of what looked like guaranteed extra bases.
: Huge, huge, huge out by Curacao! Cordilia fields a lazy fly ball into left field, ending Chinese Taipei's threat. Curacao still holds a one-run edge heading into the bottom of the fifth. 2:11 p. : Liao Yuan-Shu drops one right in front of Wiel. Surprisingly, Chinese Taipei doesn't send its lead runner around third. It will be bases loaded for Chinese Taipei.

It could get him in a little trouble. A bouncer rolls past the catcher, giving Provacia license to take third. One out. 1:34 p. : Mo catches the corner with a fastball to get the first out of the third. Filthy. 1:32 p. : Provacia has really made his impact on this game.

Second inning 1:28 p. : And let's make it 3/3 for Provacia. Easily fields a grounder and throws it to first to get Curacao out the inning.

2:09 p. : Catcher Emery Hansen makes a good read on a pop up in foul ground. Two outs now for Curacao. 2:06 p. : Pinch hitter Hsu Ta-Sheng shortens his swing and lines a ball into the outfield lawn. First and second base filled with one away. Let's see if Decaster can get out of the jam. 2:04 p. : Decaster follows up Hsuan-Huang's single with another K, his fourth of the game. 2:02 p. : Wu Hsuan-Huang trots into first base after slipping into the 5. 5 hole. That's the first baserunner Decaster has allowed since the first inning.
