You may not be a World Baseball Classic fan, but after the game on Monday night, the thrill of baseball is back!

It was a back-and-forth walk-off win for Japan, winning 6-5 in the 9th inning.

From the official WBC site comes this quote: “Obviously, it’s a big accomplishment to get to the championship series, but there’s a huge difference between getting first and second,” said Shohei Ohtani, who jump started Japan’s ninth-inning rally with a leadoff double. “I’m going to do all I can to get first place.”
