Jun 18, 2019 06:00 am
Singapore clinched their first win at the Men's Softball World Championship in 27 years through a comeback 4-3 victory against South Africa in Prague yesterday.
World No. 12 South Africa led 3-1 at the fifth inning, but the 22nd-ranked Singapore stormed home to claim a memorable victory.
Singapore's last win at the world meet - a 6-1 victory over the former Czechoslovakia - came during the 1992 edition, the last time they qualified.
The Republic, who had lost three games earlier, face world No. 6 United States tonight. - ADEENA NAGIB
