In their first matchup, team Puerto Rico topped team USA by one run in a stimulating nine inning game. In the beginning of the matchup the first time around, team Puerto Rico started off HOT. They came out of the gate with six consecutive base hits followed by a sac fly, bringing the score to 4-0 early on, forcing the USA to worry about the situation. Step by step USA marched back and brought the game to a tie, until late into the game when Puerto Rico pulled away with it winning 6-5.

In this year’s WBC both teams have been dominate. Puerto Rico seems to have the hottest team being undefeated in the tournament, and they also have way more championship experience than USA.
