Share via

Justin Campbell of Simi Valley struck out the only two batters he faced to pick up the save on Friday in the USA 12U baseball team’s 2-0 victory over Brazil in the quarterfinals of the International Baseball Federation World Cup in Taipei City.

He came in with the potential go-ahead run at the plate in the sixth inning and got two strikeouts to end the game.

USA advances to a Saturday semifinal matchup against unbeaten Japan (7-0).
