Guatemala Dominates Netherlands in 10-3 Victory
In a commanding performance, Guatemala (GUA) secured a decisive 10-3 victory over the Netherlands (NED) in their latest tournament matchup. The game, played under cloudy skies and a comfortable 27°C in Oklahoma City, showcased Guatemala’s offensive firepower and solid pitching.
The star of the game was undoubtedly Guatemala’s Fabian Esteban Vizcaino Chinchilla, who had an outstanding performance at the plate. Vizcaino Chinchilla went 3-for-3 with two home runs, a double, three RBIs, and three runs scored. His stellar play was crucial in Guatemala’s offensive onslaught.
Guatemala’s offense came alive in the third inning, erupting for four runs to take control of the game. Luis Pedro Villeda Mendizabal started the rally with an RBI double, followed by Vizcaino Chinchilla’s first home run of the game, a two-run shot to deep left field.
The Netherlands struggled to generate consistent offense against Guatemala’s pitching. Their lone bright spot came from Rachid Engelhardt, who hit a solo home run in the second inning. Dyron Juaquin and Anthony Beaumont also contributed with RBI singles for the Dutch team.
On the mound, Jorge Francisco Segura Bonilla earned the win for Guatemala, pitching 2.1 perfect innings in relief with four strikeouts. The Netherlands’ starter, Jair Frits Patrick Thompson, took the loss after giving up five runs in 2.1 innings of work.
This victory improves Guatemala’s record in the tournament and showcases their potential as a strong contender. The Netherlands will look to regroup and bounce back in their next game.
