Georgia's Tyler Austin, Team USA face Japan for Round 2 of baseball | Results

The team remains undefeated as they enter round 2 of games.

ATLANTA — Georgia native Tyler Austin and the rest of Team USA faced off against Japan Monday morning as they entered round 2 of baseball games. Japan beat the United States 7-6 to reach the Olympic semifinals. 

Austin, from Conyers, put on a performance during the last two games. 

On Saturday, as they faced South Korea, he knocked in Jamie Westbrook with a fifth-inning single to make it 4-1 for the Americans. 

Austin, who was raised in Conyers and attended Heritage High School, helped put a dent in USA baseball's opening Olympic game on Friday against Israel.

They compete again on Tuesday, Aug. 3 at 11 p.m., for another chance at advancing. Team USA must win the repechage, a French word for "fishing out." Repechage in baseball allows teams who failed to qualify to continue to the next round.
