U.S. Earns Spot In WBC Final Before Raucous Dodger Stadium Crowd

The U.S. advanced to the World Baseball Classic final last night with a 2-1 win over Japan at Dodger Stadium, where a crowd of 33,462 was present on a "cool and rainy evening." The ballpark was less than "two-thirds full," but the "'U-S-A' chants were deafening as the Americans scored the winning run in the eighth and held on for victory in the ninth." U.S. players "have embraced the carnival atmosphere" in Miami, San Diego and L.A., and with it the "curious underdog status of the U.S. team." They will face Puerto Rico in tonight's final (L.A. TIMES, 3/22).
