ANAHEIM, Calif. -- What a wonderfully lazy Thursday afternoon for Team Japan.
The members of team Mexico on Thursday celebrate their 2-1 win over the United States in the second round of the World Baseball Classic at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif. The loss knocked the United States out of the competition and let Japan make the semifinals.
Half the team didn't even work out, but from about 100 km away, Team Japan qualified for the World Baseball Classic semifinals after Mexico beat Roger Clemens and the United States 2-1 on Thursday night in front of 38,284 at Angel Stadium.
