The West Java men's baseball team advanced to the final after defeating Banten with a score of 8-4 in the semifinal match of the 2025 Men's National Open Baseball Championship at the Gelora Bung Karno Baseball Stadium, Senayan.
West Java men's baseball team manager Indra Borkie said the victory was thanks to the good cooperation of the players, so they were able to score more points.
"Thank God, the children have fought hard, so there is nothing significant in the evaluation, but perhaps it is more of a projection to get enough rest to face the final round later," he said after the match organized by the Executive Board of the All Indonesia Baseball Softball Association.
He explained that the positive result had avenged their defeat against Banten in the previous preliminary round.
At that time, he continued, the players played badly or were not compact, so that could be exploited by the opponent.

Added to the physical fatigue factor due to the arrival time in Jakarta with the match schedule being close together was another factor in the previous defeat.
