Puerto Rico Throws 1st Perfect Game in World Baseball Classic History vs. Israel

Puerto Rico bounced back from its loss to Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic in dramatic fashion on Monday.

Puerto Rico threw a combined perfect game in its 10-0 victory over Israel that lasted eight innings. The victors walked it off in the eighth inning, as games in the WBC can be called if a team is leading by 10 or more runs after the seventh inning.
