The U.S. showcased their offensive prowess, amassing 15 runs on 15 hits, while Singapore struggled to keep pace, managing only 2 runs on 5 hits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S. set the tone early with a <strong>4-run first inning,<\/strong> highlighted by <strong>Jonathan Lynch\u2019s three-run homer<\/strong>. They continued their onslaught, adding 3 runs in the second, 2 in the third, and a massive 6-run fifth inning, driven by key hits from Zac Shaw, Jeffrey Lewis, and Jonathan Lynch, along with multiple walks and wild pitches from Singapore\u2019s pitchers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Singapore scored their lone runs in the first and third innings, with Z. Low crossing the plate twice, but their offense faltered against U.S. pitchers <strong>Brad Kilpatrick and Cody Gibbons<\/strong>, who combined for multiple strikeouts.Defensively, the U.S. was solid despite one error, while Singapore played error-free but couldn\u2019t contain the U.S. bats. The game, which lasted from 11:30 PM to 12:30 AM CT, showcased the U.S. team\u2019s depth and aggressive base running, with standout performances from <strong>Blaine Milheim, who homered and doubled<\/strong>, and J. Lynch, who drove in multiple runs.This decisive victory underscores the U.S. Men\u2019s National Team\u2019s strength as they continue their campaign in Chengdu, China at the World Games.  Next up for the USA, Canada, in a game delayed due to the USA&#8217;s luggage not arriving with the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">??USA win first game in Chengdu behind Lynch and Milheim homers ?<br><br>The World Games<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TWG2025?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TWG2025<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MensSoftball?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MensSoftball<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EJa07Qt1bH\">pic.twitter.com\/EJa07Qt1bH<\/a><\/p>&mdash; WBSC ??
