12/05/2020
Top-tier baseball nations from Asia and South America played in the bronze medal game of the 2016 WBSC Women's Baseball World Cup.

Chinese Taipei and Venezuela had never played in the medal round of the Women's Baseball World Cup.

Venezuela reached the bronze medal game by placing third in the Super Round, after beating Australia behind a strong pitching performance by Orianny Hernandez.

Chinese Taipei had entered the last day of the Super Round with a chance to advance to the World Championship game, but fell to Canada, 2-1.

In the bronze medal match-up, Maria Rincon took the mound for Venezuela in front of over 2,000 fans at the Dream Ball Park in Busan, Korea. Korean home plate umpire Jeon called play ball.

In the bottom half of the first inning, Chinese Taipei handed the ball to Hsu Yu Chen.
The two starters would take their duel into the seventh inning.
