It was a gritty performance for Tokyo.

Pitcher Kanta Iwashita led the way, allowing one run and five hits while striking out 11 Venezuelan batters. The Japanese offense was not super potent, with just four hits on the day, but it did enough to claim the one-run victory.

Japan struck first when Yuzuki Ozawa smacked a ball over the right fielder’s head for an RBI double.

A single from Simón Vicheria in the bottom of the third tied the score, but Japan would score the winning run after a wild pitch in the fifth inning.

Japan now is just one win away from the International Championship Game while Venezuela awaits an elimination game on Tuesday against Aruba.
