The Netherlands have won the World Port Tournament for the first time since 1999. They rallied from an early 0-2 deficit in the final of the 2019 edition on Sunday to beat Japan 3-2. A two-run double by Sharlon Schoop tied the game in the fifth. A RBI single by him in the seventh plated the eventual game-winning run. Rob Cordemans and Diegomar Markwell kept Japan to two runs through seven combined innings before JC Sulbaran, Kevin Kelly and Tom Stuifbergen took over.
