Puerto Rico took a tight game early and turned it into a laugher. Was 1-1 going into the bottom of the 5th. Didn't capitalize on a chance to mercy rule the game, but they still win big. 9-1 final.

On the verge of free baseball in the Colombia-Mexico game. 4-4 in the bottom of the ninth.
Two out double by Barnes sets up Randy Arozarena for a chance to walk it off.
Alex Verdugo up after they give a free pass to Arozarena.
Don't tell Guillermo Zuniga it's still spring training. Hit 102 on the pitch to strike out Verdugo.
Zuniga pitches two clean innings and Colombia catches a break after not having Jorge Alfaro run on contact on a ball hit to third. Two out grounder to short took a bad hop and Luis Arias couldn't field it, allowing Alfaro to score and Colombia to win 5-4 in 10.

Why Freddie Freeman is playing against the U.S. tonight instead of for Team USA
Freeman on Team Canada? Here's why the former MVP who stars in Dodger blue is wearing red in the World Baseball Classic.
We already know he is a traitor... nothing new...
USA almost got mercy ruled by Mexico last night.
USA beating the shit out of our hat tonight. 12-1 USA in the 3rd.
Also, Puerto Rico had a mercy ruled shortened 8-inning perfect game last night.
Definitely impressive. Looked better than the kid from Canada, that's for sure. Definitely a massive jump from low-A to facing an All-Star lineup.

Kinda felt bad for the kid last night. Dude looked like he should still be in high school and when he was yanked you could see he was trying his hardest to keep it all in.
But then I realized it was Canada and we should take every opportunity ever to remind them how inferior they are.
