Facing elimination, mighty Cuba knocked balls out of the park almost as fast at it knocked Taiwan out of the World Baseball Classic.

The Cubans hit four home runs, two during an eight-run sixth inning, and lived to see another day at the WBC with a 14-0 win over Taiwan in a game that was called after the top of the seventh because of the WBC's mercy
rule.

After a loss to the Netherlands left Cuba on the brink of elimination, manager Victor Mesa didn't mince words with his players prior to facing Taiwan.
