Sho Tanaka drove in the winning run on a sacrifice fly in the
top of the 10th inning as Japan beat Taiwan 4-3 in the second round of
the World Baseball Classic.
Tanaka's deep fly to the warning track in left allowed Nobuhiro Matsuda to score from third.
Toshiya Suguichi retired Taiwan in the bottom of the 10th to nail down the win.
Two-time defending champion Japan will face the Netherlands on Sunday with a chance to secure a spot in the March 17-19 final round in San Francisco.
Taiwan must beat Cuba on Saturday in order to move on.
Japan is attempting to win a third straight WBC title without its top players from Major League Baseball.
Jonathan Schoop hit a three-run homer in the sixth inning on Friday to lead the Netherlands to a 6-2 win over Cuba in the second round of the World Baseball Classic.
"This was a huge win for us," Netherlands manager Hensley Meulens said. "We had a plan to attack and the guys executed it well. Jonathan had a big game with a three-run homer and another run in the eighth. The guys hit the ball well."
Schoop's blast into the left field stands at Tokyo Dome gave the Netherlands a comfortable 5-1 lead in the first game of the second round in Asia.
Alfredo Despaigne homered in the bottom of the second inning to give Cuba its first run. Yulieski Gourriel homered to left in the seventh to cut the lead to 5-2. Schoop then doubled in another run in the eighth.
"We hit into five double plays and that caused a lot of trouble for us," Cuba manager Victor Mesa said. "We gave a three-run homer in the sixth and that was big. We had a lot of runners on base but couldn't score."
Cuba must win tomorrow to have a chance to advance to the final round in San Francisco on March 17-19.
The roster for the Netherlands features two players on major league rosters: Simmons of the Atlanta Braves and Roger Bernadina of the Washington Nationals. Former New York Yankees outfielder Andruw Jones now plays for the Rakuten Eagles in Japan.
Anthony Rizzo hit a two-run double in the ninth inning and closer Jason Grilli escaped a bases-loaded jam in the bottom half of the frame to help Italy beat Mexico 6-5 in Thursday's opening game of Pool D in the World Baseball Classic.
Mexico closer Sergio Romo (0-1) entered to a loud ovation, but gave up three hits, the last a fly ball by Rizzo to the warning track in left field that outfielder Edgar Gonzalez couldn't handle in the sunlight at Salt River Fields.
Grilli gave up a single, a walk and a hit-by-pitch, but closed out the game by getting Jorge Cantu on a ground out.
Nick Pugliese (1-0) allowed no hits in 1 2-3 innings to take the win.
Dominican Republic beat Venezuela 9-3.

Taiwan, Netherlands advance in World Baseball Classic
Baltimore Orioles prospect Jonathan Schoop belted a two-run homer to lead the Dutch team to a 4-1 victory over Australia for their second win in Pool B round-robin play in Taichung, Taiwan.
Taiwan also advanced in Pool B despite losing 3-2 to 2009 finalists South Korea, who could not overcome an earlier 5-0 loss to the Netherlands and were eliminated by a tiebreaker.
Dutch starter Robbie Cordesmans had three 1-2-3 innings in five frames, and yielded only two hits while striking out three. 五局內有三局滿壘
"Robbie pitched a great game," said manager Hensley Meulens, the batting coach for the World Series champion San Francisco Giants. "Five innings and no runs*. That was the key to our win today." 五局沒失分
Ray Chang's clutch two-run single in the bottom of the eighth inning capped a five-run rally that propelled China to their first victory, a 5-2 win over Brazil in Pool A that clinched them an automatic berth in the 2017 Classic. 中國對的Ray再第8局尾打出兩分的安打讓該國以5比2勝巴西 並自動取得2017年經典賽的一席
Unbeaten Cuba and Japan, the two-time defending champions, play the Pool A finale on Wednesday to determine seeding* for the second round that begins on Friday at the Tokyo Dome.
The other two first-round pools get underway on Thursday.
Venezuela meets the Dominican Republic to open Pool C play in San Juan, Puerto Rico, with Spain and the host team playing on Friday.
Team USA, with reigning National League Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey on the mound, play their first game on Friday in Phoenix against Mexico, after Italy and Mexico begin competition in Pool D. Canada round out the group and open against Italy on Friday.

台灣一路領先 南韓八下兩分砲逆轉
台 灣隊昨天在經典賽預賽最後一戰挾二連勝氣勢，與背水一戰的南韓隊正面決戰，精彩攻守與陽耀勳浴血奮戰，一路領先到八局上，只可惜郭泓志八局下被姜正浩擊出 逆轉兩分砲，台灣隊以二：三落敗，與荷蘭、南韓戰績同為兩勝一敗，比較「對戰優質率」後，台灣與荷蘭以分組一、二晉級複賽，南韓遭到淘汰。
比較「對戰優質率」 台灣荷蘭晉級
台 灣隊前兩屆經典賽都在預賽止步，今年首次打進前八強，賽後台灣隊球員也特地出來繞場，向爆場的二萬三四三一名球迷致意。台灣隊馬不停蹄，今早十點將從桃園 機場出發，搭乘大聯盟的華航專機前往日本東京，明天早上在東京巨蛋練球，為八日複賽首戰備戰，對手將是今天Ａ組日本與古巴的敗隊，預定由王建民先發。
台灣八強複賽首戰 預定王建民先發
未能以三戰全勝晉級複賽，台灣隊總教練謝長亨仍肯定球員的努力，也坦言：「有點遺憾，就當成是還沒有完成的任務，南韓是很強韌的球隊，希望有一天我們能夠超越更多強隊。」
昨天午場荷蘭以四：一擊敗澳洲，確定先取得一張複賽門票，台韓戰台灣隊前七局還領先兩分，八局下郭泓志被接連敲出三支安打，包括一發兩分砲丟三分，興奮大半場的台灣球迷頓時一片沉寂，南韓隊被淘汰情緒更低迷。
陽耀勳浴血奮戰 陽岱鋼獲選ＭＶＰ
台灣隊先發投手陽耀勳前兩局只被敲一支安打，但三局下連投兩次四死球，電視慢動作重播看到他左手指流血，褲子也沾了不少血跡，草總當機立斷換投，陽耀勳展現鬥志，得到現場球迷如雷的掌聲。
陽 岱鋼前戰對荷蘭轟出兩分砲，昨天繼續用棒子力挺哥哥陽耀勳，三打數擊出兩支安打，三局上跑回台灣隊第一分，隔局再敲回第二分，陽岱鋼預賽三戰十二打數四安 打，有一轟、三打點，獲選預賽Ｂ組最有價值球員。陽岱鋼把ＭＶＰ歸功於教練、隊友與球隊工作人員共同努力的結果，「可惜沒有三連勝，到日本會調整心情，希 望能打敗日本、古巴與荷蘭。」
南韓首度在預賽止步，總教練柳仲逸難掩失望地說：「南韓首屆前四，上一屆打進決賽，被視為棒球強國，這次卻無法晉級，讓國人很失望，我要向南韓人民道歉。」
台灣隊被南韓逆轉輸球，原本運彩和地下賭盤大部分愛國賭客都押「愛國牌」，下注台灣隊獲勝，結果運彩和地下組頭都狠狠撈了一票。
