Bowling Green bounced back from its opening 14-2 loss to Sweetwater Valley with two well-played wins over Wilshire-Riverside, Oregon, the Northwest regional champion, and a huge win Monday over Southeast regional champion Northwood, South Carolina.
Bowling Green scored three runs in the bottom of the first inning and held off Northwood in a 4-3 victory. Eli Burwash homered in the first inning for the victors and added a double. Burwash also closed out the game on the mound, pitching a scoreless sixth inning. Ty Bryant was the winning pitcher, allowing three runs over five innings.

Sweetwater Valley may have to battle overconfidence in this game since it had no problem solving the Bowling Green pitching in the tournament opener for both teams last Friday. While Sweetwater Valley was defeated by Pearland West of Texas, the Southwest regional representative, the California team bounced back from that loss with a 10-3 victory over New England representative Cranston Western of Rhode Island Monday night.
Levi Mendez struck out 11 and earned the win for Sweetwater Valley, and he got home run support from Jacob Baptista, Walker Lannom and Dante Schmid.

Chinese Taipei continued to play quality baseball in its 5-0 victory over Europe-Africa regional champion Uganda. Wei Hung Chou was dominant on the mound for the Asia-Pacific champions, as he struck out 14 Ugandan hitters in going the distance and giving up just one hit. Chou also got the job done at the plate, going 2-for-3 and scoring two runs.
Webb City, Missouri, the Midwest regional representative, will meet Canada in a consolation game at Lamade Stadium at 1 p.m. The Dominican Republic defeated Wilshire-Riverside 7-3 in Monday's consolation game.
