South Korea Concludes Premier12 with Victory Over Australia.

Taipei: South Korea defeated Australia 5-2 in its final game of the World Baseball Softball Confederation Premier12 in Taipei on Monday, closing out the competition on a winning note after it had already been eliminated from title contention the previous night. According to Yonhap News Agency, star third baseman Kim Do-yeong crushed his third home run of the tournament and drove in four runs on the rainy day at Taipei Tianmu Baseball Stadium in the teams' final Group B contest. Seven relievers held Australia to two runs after starter Ko Young-pyo threw 3 2/3 shutout innings. With the top two countries advancing to the Super Round starting later this week in Tokyo, South Korea finished in third place at 3-2.
