Cuba is Semifinalist - USA is not
On Wednesday night, Cuba beat Puerto Rico in a tightly fought game 4 to 3. This put Cuba into the semifinals of the World Baseball Classic that the US had previously attempted to bar them from. On Thursday night the US team was beaten by Mexico 2 to 1 and lost their chance to move to the semifinals.
The four teams left are the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Japan and Korea. Although there will be no showdown between Cuba and the US, there will be plenty of drama in a Japan/Korea matchup and a Cuba/Dominican Republic matchup.
