In WBSC RAXUS Women's Baseball World Cup Group Tainan 2026 supported by CTBC , the hosts scored once in the opening inning, broke the game open in the second and third, and closed with another four-run burst in the fourth to defeat Great Britain 15-0. Great Britain’s night started with a small spark when Samiya Rahman was hit by a pitch in the top of the first, but that was the visitors’ lone early entry into the game. Chinese Taipei immediately answered against Jess Vernon, as Hsieh Yu-Ying doubled, Cheng Jia-Jhen doubled her home, and Tu Yu-Chuan and Kuo Ssu-I kept the line moving to build an early cushion. The second inning brought more of the same. Hsieh started it with another single, Chiu Yi-Ling drew a walk, and Huang Pei-Chen drove in both runners with a clean single up the middle. By then, Vernon and the British defense were under constant pressure, and Chinese Taipei had already turned the game into a long chase. Great Britain briefly steadied in the third when Gabriella Sassoli earned a walk, but the hosts soon buried the contest with their biggest inning. After Vernon exited, Chinese Taipei kept stringing together contact against Danielle Briggs, with Tu Yu-Chuan, Chen Yu-Hsuan, Lin Pei-Yun, Hsieh, Chiu and Cheng all contributing to a relentless sequence that pushed the lead far beyond reach. Chiu’s two-run single and Cheng’s two-run knock were part of a cascade that left no opening for a comeback. Chinese Taipei added its final insurance in the fourth, even after another pitching change. Chen Yu-Hsuan was hit by a pitch, Chen Chi-Jung singled, and Wang Hsiao-Chien later drove in a pair with a single up the middle. Huang Pei-Chen and Cheng Jia-Jhen followed with run-scoring hits as the hosts kept the pressure on until the offense had produced 15 runs on 15 hits, with no need to ease off the throttle. Hsieh Yu-Ying was one of the constants in the middle of the lineup, finishing 3 for 4 with three runs scored, while Cheng Jia-Jhen drove in four and Tu Yu-Chuan also collected three hits. Chiu Yi-Ling scored three times and Huang Pei-Chen added two RBIs, showing how many different places Chinese Taipei found production. For Great Britain, the offense never found a rhythm against a staff that allowed only a handful of base runners and never permitted a run. Chen-Yun Chang started for Chinese Taipei and set the tone over two scoreless innings, striking out two and allowing no hits. Chen Chi-Jung, the winning pitcher, followed with a scoreless inning, and Wang Hsiao-Chien finished the shutout work in the fourth. On the other side, Vernon took the loss after being tagged for seven runs, while Briggs and Stella Veski were unable to slow the tide once Chinese Taipei’s lineup got rolling. In the end, the momentum never changed: Chinese Taipei scored early, scored often and stayed in complete command from start to finish.
