I saw the final out. A lively, bouncing bunt. The pitcher and first basemen for Taiwan run to the ball. The pitcher grabs the ball about 15 feet from home plate on first base line and throws it as fast as he can to first base.
No one is there! (I feel bad for whoever is supposed to cover first base (right fielder I think). They have to live with that..
Any coaches want to say where the error was?

Yep - Taiwan second baseman should have run over to first to cover and catch the throw. Poor kid (#18) was despondent after. One of the USA coaches went over and hugged him just after. But a great game by both teams, Lake Mary simply came through in a few tight situations and deserved the win!!!
