World No. 1 Japan defeated No. 4 USA 11-6 in the Women's Baseball World Cup 2024 Final and confirmed World Champions. It's their seventh title in a row.

Japan once again mastered the running game and the short ball, but it also confirmed the best lineup in the tournament with 12 hits. The six-time defending champions seemed to improve as the tournament progressed.

"You are right," commented Miyu Shiraishi through an interpreter. We united as a team and progressed into the tournament. We definitely improved, and our communication improved. We are a better team now."

"We were nervous at the start," added manager Risa Nakashima. It was like everybody was a bit tight. After we got clutch hits, we loosened out."
