Michihiro Ogaswara's RBI sacrifice fly in the 10th inning also kept Japan on pace to be the top seed in the medal round. The extra-inning game between the two Asian rivals was the first of the 2004 Olympics. Taiwan went ahead 3-0 in the third inning on a two-out three-run homer from Chin-Feng Chen (Dodgers). Wang, a member of the Triple-A Columbus roster who shut down Australia for seven innings earlier in the tournament, settled in as well, limiting Japan to just five hits in the first six innings. However, the Japanese rallied in the seventh inning against Wang to tie the game with three runs. One-out singles from Atsushi Fujimoto and Kosuke Fukudome put runners on the corners, and Shinya Miyamoto laid down a bunt to score Fujimoto and advance Fukudome. With two outs and Fukudome still on second base, Takanashi drilled an opposite field home run to left to tie the game. Takanashi's home run was Japan's tournament-best 11th home run.
