[Reporter Wu Qingzheng/Comprehensive Report] Venezuelan second baseman Aituwei (Astros) was hit by a 95.9-mile (about 154.3 km) speedball and injured the back of his right hand. Venezuela was then reversed by the US team's slam shot. The game ended in the worst possible way.

In the 5th inning, Ai Tuwei was hit on the right hand by a fastball from the U.S. team's reliever Budd. Shortly after getting out of the court, he went to the hospital for examination. The details of the injury are not yet known. The Astros will announce the results of the examination tomorrow.
