Team USA faces off against Puerto Rico in the championship game of the World Baseball Classic. Here’s what you need to know to watch the game on TV and online.

After a historic win over Japan in the semifinal game of the World Baseball Classic, Team USA will meet Team Puerto Rico in the championship game on Wednesday night in Los Angeles.

It has been a long road for Team USA, starting out with a 2-1 record in Pool C in Miami. Their one loss comes from the Dominican Republic, but both teams survived the First Round to move to Petco Park in San Diego for the Second Round. As it turns out, Team USA met Team Dominican Republic once again to determine which team moved to the semifinals, and it was Team USA that defeated the reigning champions 6-3.

Team USA held on against Team Japan on a rainy Tuesday night in Los Angeles to secure a place in the championship game on Wednesday. This is the first time that the United States has made an appearance in the final game of the World Baseball Classic, and that’s why this game is such a major occasion for USA Baseball, which will be making a return appearance in the 2020 Olympic games.

Puerto Rico has been perfect through the entire series, defeating every team it has faced including Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Mexico. They already have a win against Team USA already and they are familiar with the Team USA playing style. Needless to say, this is going to be a great game!
