Yesterday wrapped up the final games in pool play of the World Baseball Classic with the United State, Puerto Rico, and Mexico all punching their tickets to the quarterfinals. There were five games to recap so let’s jump right into the action.
Quarterfinal One: Australia (2-3) 3, Cuba (3-2) 4
With a hard-fought win over Australia, Cuba become the first team to punch their ticket to the semifinals. Australia were certainly one of the surprises of pool play, advancing out of the group ahead of the more heavily favored Korea squad, however their tournament comes to an end that they can be more than proud of.
