Taiwan’s national team left the World Baseball Classic (WBC) Thursday after losing to archrival and competition host South Korea 11-8 in extra innings.
After trailing by six runs early in the game, Chinese Taipei fought back to draw even in the seventh inning.
However, it was unable to score off Major League player Oh Seung-hwan, who came to the mound at the bottom of the ninth.
South Korea then added three runs at the top of the 10th, including with a two-run homer, to secure the victory. [FULL STORY]
