The Western Hemisphere started their World Baseball Pool games two days ago. The first night saw the Dominican Republic take down Team Canada, while Team Italy out slugged Team Mexico. This was covered yesterday in an article. Last night, the other four teams from Pool C and D got their first action of the World Baseball Classic. The Pittsburgh Pirates had only one player in action last night.
The USA vs Columbia
Team USA took on Team Columbia in both team’s first game. Team USA was the heavy favorite in the game, as team Colombia does not have a lot of major league talent on their roster.
