SPORTS Wednesday, March 22, 2017 East Oregonian Page 3B World Baseball Classic US edges Japan, advances to WBC championship US faces Puerto Rico tonight for world title By GREG BEACHAM Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Brandon Crawford scored the tiebreaking run when Nobuhiro Matsuda bobbled Adam Jones’ grounder to third in the eighth inning, and the United States reached the championship game of the World Baseball Classic for the first time by beating Japan 2-1 on Tuesday night at rainy Dodger Stadium. Andrew McCutchen drove in an early run for the U.S., which will play Puerto Rico for the title Wednesday night. Puerto Rico beat the Netherlands 4-3 in 11 innings Monday. The World Baseball Classic final has been played in the United States in each of its four editions, but the home team had never made it. The Americans only reached the semifinals once before, in 2009. But this All-Star-laden roster has won two straight elimination games to earn the chance for its first crown. Ryosuke Kikuchi hit a tying homer off reliever Nate Jones in the sixth inning for Japan, but the two-time WBC champions were twice let down by their normally sturdy defense on a rain-soaked night at Dodger Stadium, perfect ninth Semifinals where an inning after intermittent Pat Neshek downpour escaped a Japan kept fans in United States two-on jam in ponchos. the eighth. McCutchen Although o p e n e d the crowd of the scoring with an RBI 33,462 strongly favored the single in the fourth inning team with five California moments after Kikuchi’s natives in the starting two-base error at second.

Tanner Roark pitched with eight All-Stars, making four scoreless innings of only one change from the two-hit ball before U.S. team that beat the Domin- manager Jim Leyland went ican Republic on Saturday to his bullpen early and to avoid elimination.

His sixth reliever, Posey was behind the plate, Luke Gregerson, pitched a continuing his alternation 2 1 with Jonathan Lucroy, apparently in accordance with their major league teams’ wishes. Tomoyuki Sugano, the Yomiuri Giants ace with a seven-pitch repertoire, tossed six innings of three-hit ball for Japan, striking out six and yielding only one unearned run. “He’s a big league pitcher,” Leyland said before the game. But Sugano was matched by Roark, who had given up three runs over 1 1/3 innings in his only previous WBC appearance. The Washington Nationals right-hander was largely outstanding against Japan, giving up just two singles and a walk and hitting a batter with a pitch. After Christian Yelich reached second in the fourth inning when his hard-hit grounder was mishandled by Kikuchi, the standout defensive second baseman, Eric Hosmer worked out of an 0-2 count to draw a two-out walk. McCutchen had just two hits in his first 14 at-bats in the WBC, but he drove in Yelich with a sharp single to left. Kikuchi atoned for his mistake in the sixth, driving Jones’ fastball barely over the reach of McCutchen in right field for his first homer of the tournament. Japan, unbeaten coming into the game, won the first two WBC tournaments before losing in the semifi- nals in 2013.
