How to watch Team USA in 2023 World Baseball Classic title game
It all comes down to Tuesday night.
Team USA reached the World Baseball Classic title game for the second straight time after a 14-2 drubbing vs. Team Cuba in the semifinals on Sunday.
After a shaky start on defense with Adam Wainwright as the starting pitcher, the U.S. turned the tide in impressive fashion as the offense hit a new gear to put the game well out of reach.
But doing so in the championship game wont be so straightforward. Team USA doesnt know its opponent just yet as Japan and Mexico will battle in the second semifinal matchup on Monday. Japan is the only undefeated team left this tournament, while Mexico handed the U.S. its sole loss in group play.
