We’ve looked over all of the different pools, but at last the World Baseball Classic has properly kicked off! The tournament will be played during some difficult hours to follow along live here in the States due to it being hosted in Japan, but if you happened to miss the action we’ll have a recap for you of what went down starting from today on. Last night saw the first innings of play begin, so without further ado let’s get into it:
Pool A: Cuba (0-1) 2, Netherlands (1-0) 4
The Netherlands took the first win of the tournament thanks to a three-run sixth inning that put them ahead for good.
