The fans got what they came for – Ohtani pitching, hitting and not disappointing the 41,616 who showed up.Besides Ohtani, the fan favorite was Lars Nootbaar of the St. Louis Cardinals, who made a sprawling catch is center and also led off and hit the first pitch he saw for a single in the first. Australia, leading 5-4 in the top of the eighth, put the game away with a three-run shot by Perkins. The blast came off Hyeon-Jong Yang, who had entered in relief in the inning and made only seven pitches and got no one out.
South Korea added another run in the sixth. But Australia scored three in the seventh to take the lead.
