Puerto Rico defeated Chinese Taipei 3-1 in a heated first round game of the Pony League World Series. They took an early 3-0 lead in the second inning, and were able to maintain that lead despite a valiant Chinese Taipei effort.
Roberto Guillermo, Onix Martinez and Daniel Blanco each scored one run to put Puerto Rico in the lead. Jose Mercado is credited with two RBI, and Blanco added another. A Cheng Yuan Yang of Chinese Taipei was called out on a homerun after officials ruled that his foot did not touch the base.
