World Baseball Championship Pool Play - Final Day
Things remain unsettled as we head into the last day of pool play.
In
Pool A, Puerto Rico has not only assured themselves of advancing, they've established themselves as the favorites as the only undefeated team left. Host South Korea has dropped two of their last three, and they need a win over India in their final game to keep things going.
The United States and Germany have been atop
Pool B all week, and they simply need to win to advance. Germany takes on rival Poland, while the USA faces off against New Zealand.
Things have been decided in
Pool C, where Venezuela and Russia have outpaced the field. Venezuela was considered a favorite, of course, but Russia surprisingly took down Japan and Mexico to earn their way forward.
And in
Pool D, the Dominican Republic and China are in control and can guarantee their advancement with a win.
