I mean, do or die without the right result tonight.

This will be front-page news.

It will lead every newscast on this island for the next 24 hours or longer.

If Chinese Taipei doesn't get the job done, the world's number-two-ranked program will be out of the World Baseball Classic, and Spain will be back in for the first time in over a decade.

Chinese Taipei has never missed a World Baseball Classic, and the existence of this event dating back to 2006 started games.

They got behind early against Spain and against Nicaragua.

They got a lead-off base hit here in the first inning as Pochon Wong also deals.

And a drive into left field, slicing away and down in front of Frank Hernandez.

At third base and holding and diving back into the bag, Wong is there, and it's first and third, one out.

Listen to this reaction to that man at first base.

And that's that reaction you want to give that dugout, these young players.

Hey, everything's okay.

We're in control.

One-one, Chang to left.

It's a base hit and extra bases.

And the score is Wong, first and second, turns to second and third, and Chinese Taipei out quick, one-nothing in the first.

And you feel like the roof has got to blow off this building.

Yu Chang coming through once again.

He'll get back up in the top of the strike zone.

Full count roller out to second.

He'll get another run home.

Yen-Ting Wu, a productive out.

It's two-nothing Chinese Taipei.

Wights tonight, and a shot to right field.

Will it hang up long enough?

Oh, what a catch!

Zhang Ruisong saves a run and maybe more.

And he lights up an electrified Taipei Dome.

We are headed to the top of the second, and Chinese Taipei holds the lead.

It's two to one.

Answers from his pitching staff.

Three-one, down the right field line.

Toward the corner.

Foul.

No!

That's a fair ball, and it's gone!

It is a grand slam for Zu-Wei Lin and a six-one lead.

And it's a three-two count now on Lin.

Garcia deals.

Ball four.

It'll add a run anyway.

Ground ball out to second.

Could be two.

Chang to the back for one.

Lin's return throw.

Six-four-three.

Two gone.

The tying run moves to scoring position.

Moves to third, I should say.

But a big double play.

The son of the dragon, Ro-Shi-Su, trying to finish off a dangerous fifth.

Oh, two.

Got him!

The Taipei Dome is alive in a one-run game.

We're headed to the sixth.

MLB 90-25.

With the help of Su-Boo Xiao-Ge, a purebred player is rewarded.

A perfect bump.

Third base side.

Oh, it's thrown away!

Up the right field line.

It'll bring Chun in.

And into second base goes Xiao Hong-Chung.

Chinese Taipei extends the lead.

It's four to two in the sixth.

How many times in this qualifier have we talked about how many bunts have gone down?

The little things that you do to win games.

Another bunt to third.

Valerio again.

And throws it away again!

Rounding third and scoring is Chong, and Chinese Taipei has added two on back-to-back errors by Wander and Carnacion.

Wow.

That's what they call the yips.

Ladies and gentlemen, they can come at you quick when you're anchoring on the error you made.

And you can see him.

This will haunt him for a long time after this, the way this game's going here in the sixth.

Oh, that is crushing to see.

Wander and Carnacion literally in tears now.

Like I said, you're anchoring on the big mistake that, by the way, he has made, Roxxon.

How many nice plays has he made to save runs in this qualifier?

What are you throwing here in this one?

He's going to get a changeup for sure.

Three-two pitch.

Cold strike three!

Throws him at 83 miles an hour for a massive second out in the seventh.

Ilai Sun, one-two.

Got him!

Ilai Sun gets out of the jam.

Five-three, going to the eighth.

Letting all of that nervous energy out right now as the one-one lifted out down the left-field line, slicing toward the line and pulled in out there, tagging at third, headed for the plate is Song, and he scores!

And moving up behind him, Pochuan Wong.

That is great base running by Chinese Taipei, and it's back to a three-run game.

Beltre of the first-base side, diving and knocked down by Wong, who's got it!

Ilai Sun, incredible work as Spain strands another one.

And we go to the ninth.

Chinese Taipei closing in on saving its World Baseball Classic dreams.

This dome ready to explode.

Zhenwei Sun, ready.

One-two pitch.

Got him!

It did not come easy, but it's here all the same.

Let the party begin in Taiwan.

Chinese Taipei is back in the World Baseball Classic.

What a scene at the Taipei Dome, as Chinese Taipei has clinched a return trip to the World Baseball Classic and will not miss the Classic for the first time ever, which was a real danger coming into tonight.

The young pitchers stepped up on full display, 96, 97 mile per hour, absolute.

My name is Tyler Mahn.

Chinese Taipei, off to the World Baseball Classic.

Congrats to the home team.
