Tonight we're reacting to Japan's 3-2 win over the USA in the World Baseball Classic Championship. It was the dream matchup that everyone had been waiting for, and it did not disappoint. Shohei Ohtani facing Mike Trout with 2 outs and a 1-run lead in the ninth inning was nothing short of a perfect script for the WBC Final, and we got it. We're recapping the final game of the 2023 WBC, reflecting on the tournaments' best moments, and appreciating what it has done and will continue to do for the game of baseball. Enjoy!
