It will take one more win to punch a ticket to San Francisco. But of course nothing's secured yet for Team Japan.

After a nail-biting 4-3 extra-inning victory over Taiwan in their first game of the World Baseball Classic's second round on Friday, the two-time reigning champion Japan will face the Netherlands on Sunday at Tokyo Dome.

It is expected to be a tough challenge for the Japanese pitchers against the Dutch hitters, who came up with 14 hits and two home runs against Cuba on Friday.
