Team Japan sure put it all together Sunday night. But who would have thought it would earn the victory with a slugfest?

A total of 17 hits, six of them home runs. That's what Japan racked up during a 16-4 win over the Netherlands in Sunday's WBC second-round game at Tokyo Dome.

Japan had produced only a pair of extra-base hits — with zero balls over the fences — in its previous four games in the tournament.
