Just three days after the game in #122,
Mexico
and
Australia
were playing again, this time in a must-win game that would advance the winner
to the second round and eliminate the loser. This time Mexico would return the
favor and mercy Australia, first stringing together five hits for four runs in
the third, then collecting another five hits including a two-run blast by Scott
Hairston for seven runs in the fourth. After that, Karim Garcia made it his
personal mission to end the game early, hitting a solo homer in the sixth and a
three-run homer in the seventh to cap a 4-4 day with 4 runs scored and 4 RBI.
Australia
never really threatened offensively other than putting men at second &
third with one out in the second and
Rosenberg’s
solo homer in the fourth, but by that point it was already 11-0.
