ASIA-PACIFIC (Southern Mariners) vs. Latin America, 4 August 2016
Wednesday was a rough outing for Josh Meyer, but Asia-Pacific still managed to pull out a 13-7 victory over Latin America in seven innings at Mansfield Stadium | Bangor, ME.
Meyer allowed six in 1 2/3, but the bullpen gave up just one more as the offense banged out 12 hits to pick up the slack and secure the win for Asia-Pacific.
Jordan Barnett racked up three RBIs on three hits for Asia-Pacific including a second inning triple and single base knocks in the second and fourth.
Latin America was hurt by a number of miscues in the field, committing three errors which led to two unearned runs for Asia-Pacific.
Jai Lyttleton got it done on the bump. He allowed one run over 5 1/3 innings. Lyttleton struck out one, walked three and gave up seven hits but most importantly gave up just a single marker in the top of the seventh on his way to recording the win.
Latin America’s Saul Burgos ended up on the wrong side of the pitching decision, charged with the loss after lasting just 1 2/3 innings, walking one, striking out two, and allowing three runs.
It didn't take long for Asia-Pacific to recover a slow start after Latin America’s four-run first as they went on to score in every inning.
The win now sees the Southern Mariners representing the Asian-Pacific region advance to the tournament semi-finals tomorrow where they face the undefeated Maine at 10am AEST.
