Nicaragua qualifies :thumbup:

 

Another humiliation for host Taiwan, who still gets to play Spain for the other ticket.

Day 3 Scores:

 

:ESP 9-1 :RSA

:NCA 6-0 :TWN

 

Nicaragua officially qualifies. Baseball is incredibly popular in the country so I'm really happy for them.

 

Taiwan and Spain will play for one more qualification spot on Tuesday.

I've only realized now that Taiwan has just ONE player on their qualification roster that were part of the Premier 12 winning team last November.

 

According to a commenter on reddit, the Taiwanese management wanted to select younger players to give them international experience because they thought that qualification would be a breeze :facepalm:

Excellent! The two teams I wanted to qualify qualified. Both Taiwan and Nicaragua live and breathe baseball and it would've been disappointing to see either of them miss out.

 

I have nothing against Spain itself but having their team qualifying would've been a joke. Only ONE player on the team was born in Spain. The rest are players from the DR, Venezuela and Cuba who had some great grand parent who came from Spain.

Definitively the best possible outcome from a sporting standpoint. No disrespect to Spain or South Africa but neither are baseball nations, unlike Taiwan and especially Nicaragua.
