USA Eliminates Japan Will Face Puerto Rico for Championship


In a rematch from 2009, team USA faced Japan.  Japan has been undefeated so far.  On a rainy night, team USA defeated Japan eliminating the foreign team.  In a game expected to be exciting, there was much action. Both teams are not familiar with the techniques and skills of one another. This made for an interesting game.  At first, Japan was in the lead. However, sloppy ball play allowed for the American team to tie the game when Matsuda could not hold the ball and allowed for Crawford to score.






Team USA will now face Team Puerto Rico which is also undefeated and has been on fire.  Many expect Puerto Rico to win the World Baseball Classic; however, the Americans have shown they are capable of winning as an underdog.  Either way, a win will be an American win because the island of Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the United States of America and may become the 51st state some day.
