Albies was the star of the afternoon, going 2-4 with four RBIs. Xander Bogaerts, Ceddanne Rafaela and Druw Jones collected two hits each for the team, as well.
Nicaragua took the lead in the top of the 8th inning, when Jeter Downs launched a two-run homer to left field. The Netherlands went into the bottom of the ninth, trailing 3-1. With two outs, Rafaela singled, then Bogaerts doubled. With two men on, Albies came to the plate and walked the game off.
Erasmo Ramirez made a quality start for Nicaragua, allowing one run and five hits over five innings. Reliever Angel Obanda took the loss.
Japan 8, South Korea 6
Seiya Suzuki homered twice and drove in four runs to lead Japan over South Korea in Pool C play in Tokyo.
Shohei Ohtani and Masataka Yoshida added a home run each for Japan, as well. Suzuki, Ohtani and Yoshida combined for all eight of the squad's RBIs.

Canada 8, Colombia 2

Relievers Alek Jacob, Gordon Graceffo and Claudio Scotti finished off the shutout for Italy. Dante Nori hit two home runs, and Dominic Canzone recorded a home run and four RBIs.
Brazil starter Enzo Sawayama began the game with four scoreless innings. However, the bullpen could not contain Italy's offense.
