[Taipei (Taiwan) = Sports Chosun Reporter Park Sang-kyung] Ryu Joong-il's trip to Tokyo was thwarted.

Japan and Taiwan are no longer allowed to cross the border. Japan and Taiwan won side by side in Group B of the 2024 WBSC Premier 12 group stage on the 17th (Korea time). Japan shook off Cuba's chase and won 7-6, while Taiwan defeated Australia 11-3. Japan won all four games and Taiwan won three games.

As a result, Ryu Joong-il won the match against Australia on the 18th, and even if Taiwan lost against Cuba and tied with 3 wins and 2 losses, it was pushed out of the winner's winning principle and could not achieve second place in the group.

Taiwan, which faced Australia at Taipei Dome, had to lose to continue the number of cases bound for Tokyo. However, the home team Taiwan did not lose momentum.

Taiwan got the first run in the top of the first inning with a double by Panjekai following Chen's walk and steal. In the top of the second inning, Lin Li made a timely hit to the right in the third base with two outs that led to Lee Kai-way's walk, wild pitch, and Cheon Chun-wei's true hit, widening the gap to 2-0. Australia created a chase point in the bottom of the third inning, but Taiwan widened the gap to 4-1 when Zeng Song-un's two-run timely hit broke out in the top of the fourth inning with two outs and a first and second base chance that led to Lin Li's hit and Chen Jie-hsuen's walk. In the top of the fifth inning, Chen Jie-hsuen made a timely hit to take advantage of the scoring chance held by Chen Chun-wei Lin-li's consecutive hits, leading to a 5-1 run. In the top of the seventh inning, Lin Lee hit a three-run shot at the first and second bases with one out, which was caught by Zhang Zeng-yu Chun-wei's hit. Australia gained a chase point again in the bottom of the seventh inning, but Taiwan raved about the home fans who filled Taipei Dome with Ji Rizi Rao hitting a three-run shot to the left in the top of the ninth inning.

Ryu Joong-il will play his final match against Australia at Tianmu Stadium on the 18th.
