Host Black Sox Drop Pivotal Game 5, Now Trail Series 3-2
Singapore Fusion designated hitter Liviu Antonescu was the difference-maker at South African Grounds, as he led his club to victory in a pivotal Game 5 of the Wildcard Series. The Fusion took the 13-4 win over the South Africa Black Sox to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 series.

Singapore used the hitting of Julian Baird to pick up the win. The third baseman clubbed a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Fusion on top, 2-0. For the game, Baird had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Every team in baseball loses," Black Sox manager Pao-tzu Bi said. "We're in the playoffs and we still have the same guys that got us here. We'll bounce back."

Game 6 is scheduled for Tuesday at Singapore Stadium in Singapore.
