Team USA has advanced to the finals of the 2026 World Baseball Classic with a 2-1 win over the Dominican Republic in front of a packed house in loanDepot Park in Miami in what will go down as an instant classic.
The two most talented teams ever assembled played a game that lived up to the hype. The lineups were the selling point of the matchup, but as the old saying goes, good pitching always beats good hitting. Team USA starter Paul Skenes was phenomenal through 4 1/3 innings. The Team USA bullpen behind him was even better.
