The Australian National Team won three of four games against their counterparts from Taiwan this week in a pre-World Baseball Classic series Down Under. While both teams are still far from set for the WBC, the series win shows the Aussies shouldn’t be lightly regarded when they begin Pool B play next month in Mexico City along with teams from Cuba, Mexico and South Africa.
Australia won the first game Monday, 9-3, thanks to homers by Brett Roneberg, Daniel Berg and Justin Huber. Taiwan evened the series Tuesday with a 5-4 win despite Chris Snelling’s two-run shot for the home side, but Australia came back to win the last two games by scores of 9-3 and 7-6. Taiwan will play in WBC Pool A with Japan, South Korea and China.
