Curaçao did not succeed in winning in the fourth game. In a very attractive duel, the team just got a little short against team Chinese Taipei.
In the second inning, Chinese Taipei opened the score after Ko came through a two-base hit and came through H Wang’s RBI. In the third Taiwanese battle, the second run was made possible after Liao Chun reached the home plate via a balk from the Curaçao pitcher.

Only in the third inning became the first run of Curacao: Beaumont scored the 1-2 after he had previously a basehit.

The base of the victory for Chinese Taipei was laid in the sixth inning when H. Wang, C. Lin and Ko pushed the stand to 1-5. In the equalizing inning, Curaçao did quite a bit back when Gurp and Mujica returned the margin to two runs difference (3-5).

Chinese Taipei’s lead was expanded in the eighth inning after KO put his third point of the match on the scoreboard. A reply from Curaçao did not stop and kept the score 3-6.
