Colin Anderson's grand slam, 7 RBIs lift US over Korea
The left fielder hits a grand slam and a three-run homer and contributed with seven RBIs in the 8-5 win.
Slugging USA defeated Korea, 8-5, to finish group play as the only unbeaten National Team in the VI WBSC U-12 Baseball World Cup.
Colin Anderson hit a grand slam in the first inning and added a three-run homer in the second. He batted in seven, providing all the runs production the US needed.
