Japan have ended Australia's unbeaten run at the World Baseball Classic with a 7-1 thumping.
abc.net.au/news/australia-loses-unbeaten-record-in-world-baseball-classic/102087088Australia's breakthrough baseball men have finally been brought down to earth, crushed by the power of Japan's super-slugging sports hero Shohei Ohtani in Tokyo.
Dave Nilsson's Australia team had opened the World Baseball Classic with two terrific victories over the world number four team Korea and China but they met their match on Sunday, being hammered 7-1 by the hosts and favourites at the Tokyo Dome. It was the prelude to a terrific display from the Los Angeles Angels superstar, who went on to have four RBIs which leaves Australia's hopes of advancing in the global tournament on a knife-edge in group B.
