Japan Takes Control

Japan takes a 5-0 lead over Israel in the bottom of the sixth inning. Yoshitomo Tsutsugo led off the inning with a massive home run for the first score of the game, then a series of hits, misplays, and rundowns lead to four more runs. Japan has the bases loaded with two out, so they may add more runs.

Amazingly, the Japanese crowd is acting like a real home crowd. Usually at games, fans root for both teams. They are going wild when Japan scores, and even booed when one of their players was intentionally walked. From what I understand, that would be a huge departure from protocol.

If Israel loses, they are out of the tournament.
