It was a great game. If not for the missed double play in the 7th the Aussies had it.
Australia is a wealthy country with great weather and a strong sporting culture. They can be good at pretty much any sport they want to be. While baseball is pretty niche the have little league and a professional league while skills are very transferable from cricket.
Australia can still get through with a win over Korea. If Korea wins they will both be tied at 2-2 with Taiwan and it gets complicated. Korea goes through if they win by at least 5 and don’t give up more than 2 runs. Australia gets through if they don’t give up more than 6 runs, and Taiwan gets through otherwise.
