Prior to the game, Didi Gregorius was removed from the Netherlands roster due to a shoulder injury.[9] The Netherlands gained Kenley Jansen, who did not pitch in the previous rounds.[10] Rick van den Hurk started for the Netherlands and Jorge López started for Puerto Rico.[11]

Wladimir Balentien[12] and Carlos Correa both hit two-run home runs in the first inning. T. J. Rivera hit a home run for Puerto Rico in the second inning. The Netherlands tied the score on a run batted in (RBI) double by Shawn Zarraga in the fifth inning. From there, the game remained tied through the 10th inning.[13]

Starting in the 11th inning, teams start each inning with runners on first and second base as a means of sudden death. The Netherlands failed to score in the top of the 11th inning, but Puerto Rico scored the game-winning run in the bottom of the inning.[14]

The United States scored a run on an RBI single by Andrew McCutchen in the fourth inning, and Ryosuke Kikuchi hit a home run for Japan in the sixth inning to tie the game. The United States scored another run in the eighth inning to take the lead, and Luke Gregerson earned the save.
