The score had been tied at 1 at the start of the 4th inning, but it was a 10 run onslaught that ended the game and catapulted the USA into the Super Round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Game 9 \u2013 USA 11, Dominican Republic 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a dominant display at the WBSC Men\u2019s Softball World Cup Finals 2025 in Prince Albert, Canada, the United States (1-1) crushed the Dominican Republic (1-1) with a decisive 11-1 run-ahead rule victory on July 10, 2025. The game, played under cloudy skies at 22\u00b0C, showcased the USA\u2019s offensive firepower and stellar pitching, setting a strong tone for their campaign in the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The USA\u2019s offense erupted, capitalizing on a key Dominican error and timely hitting. Jonathan Lynch led the way, going 2-for-3 with a home run and four RBIs, while&nbsp;<strong>Cameron Schiller<\/strong>&nbsp;went a perfect 3-for-3 with a double, one RBI, and two runs scored.&nbsp;<strong>Erick Ochoa&nbsp;<\/strong>contributed a 1-for-3 performance with a three-RBI double, and&nbsp;<strong>Yusef Davis&nbsp;<\/strong>went 2-for-2 with a triple, two RBIs, and two runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The USA amassed eight hits, including two doubles, a triple, and a homer, while drawing four walks to keep the pressure on. The Dominican Republic struggled to find their rhythm at the plate, managing only four hits.<strong>&nbsp;Pablo Figuereo<\/strong>&nbsp;drove in their lone run with a 1-for-2 performance, including an RBI single, while&nbsp;<strong>Juan Arias<\/strong>&nbsp;went 1-for-2 and scored.&nbsp;<strong>Fernando G\u00f3mez<\/strong>&nbsp;drew two walks but couldn\u2019t spark a rally. The Dominicans committed one error in the field, which proved costly in the USA\u2019s seven-run fourth inning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Moments:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Bottom 3rd:&nbsp;<strong>Yusef Davis<\/strong>&nbsp;tripled to right field and scored on a sacrifice fly by Zachary Shaw, giving the USA a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Bottom 4th: The USA sent 11 batters to the plate.&nbsp;<strong>Erick Ochoa<\/strong>\u2019s three-RBI double and Jonathan Lynch\u2019s three-run homer were the highlights, with&nbsp;<strong>Cameron Schiller<\/strong>&nbsp;adding an RBI single. The inning saw seven runs scored, three on Lynch\u2019s blast, sealing the 11-1 rout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Top 4th: The Dominican Republic avoided a shutout when&nbsp;<strong>Pablo Figuereo<\/strong>&nbsp;singled to drive in Juan Arias, but their rally fizzled with two strikeouts to end the game. The USA\u2019s defense was flawless, committing no errors, while the Dominican Republic\u2019s lone miscue\u2014a throwing error by shortstop Elias Valerio\u2014allowed three unearned runs in the fourth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marco Diaz delivered a masterful performance on the mound for the USA, pitching four innings, allowing four hits, one earned run, two walks, and striking out five. His 61 pitches (39 strikes) kept the Dominican bats in check, earning him the win and a 2.47 ERA for the game. The Dominican Republic cycled through two pitchers, with Michael Batista taking the loss after 3.1 innings, giving up five hits, four earned runs, one walk, and two strikeouts for an 8.40 ERA. Jonni Suriel struggled in relief, pitching 0.1 innings, allowing three hits, seven runs (four earned), and three walks, resulting in a 21.00 ERA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pitching Lines:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>USA: Marco Diaz (W): 4.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 5 SO, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dominican Republic: Michael Batista (L): 3.1 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 2 SO, 8.40 ERA Jonni Suriel: 0.1 IP, 3 H, 7 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 0 SO, <\/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\">Schiller singles to right to plate one! <br><br>Eagles lead, 8-1! ? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/htG7GA8683\">pic.twitter.com\/htG7GA8683<\/a><\/p>&mdash; USA Softball Men\u2019s National Team (@USASoftballMNT) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/USASoftballMNT\/status\/1943385156930465825?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 10, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\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\">???

The game, played under cloudy skies with a temperature of 20\u00b0C, drew a crowd of 1,200 and lasted 2 hours and 27 minutes.Argentina\u2019s offense was led by Alan Peker, who went 2-for-3 with a home run, 5 RBIs, and two runs scored. Luciano Biondi also shone, hitting 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI, and a stolen base. Teo Migliavacca contributed with a 2-for-3 performance, scoring a run, while Lucio Retamar went 2-for-2 with two runs scored. On the mound, Huemul Mata earned the win, pitching 4.1 innings, allowing 5 hits, 3 runs (2 earned), 2 walks, and striking out 5. Matias Etchevers closed out the game with 2.2 scoreless innings, fanning 4.Canada\u2019s Mathieu Roy was the standout, going 2-for-4 with a home run and 2 RBIs. Blake Hunter added a hit and a run scored. However, Canada\u2019s pitching struggled, with starter Ty Sebastian taking the loss after 5 innings, giving up 3 runs on 3 hits. Reliever Sean Cleary had a tough outing, surrendering 4 runs in just 1 inning. Justin Schofield pitched a scoreless seventh but couldn\u2019t stem the tide.Argentina\u2019s disciplined hitting and effective pitching proved too much for Canada, who couldn\u2019t capitalize on early opportunities.
