Team USA is one win away from a second consecutive World Baseball Classic championship. Sunday night in Miami, Team USA cruised to a 14-2 blowout win over Cuba (box score) to clinch a spot in Tuesday’s championship game. USA will face the winner of Monday night’s Japan vs. Mexico game. Cuba has been eliminated.
FINAL: United States 14, Cuba 2
A complete dismantling. Trea Turner is the best No. 9 hitter ever. The U.S. had eight extra-base hits. And after a rough start, Team USA is back to the World Baseball Classic finals and will face the winner of Japan-Mexico in hopes of a repeat.
