Kirk here with a follow-up to Sean's post about today's World Baseball Classic final between Japan and the U.S. Murakami came through again to tie the score 1-1 with a solo home run after the U.S. had taken the lead. Final score: Japan 3, U.S.A. 2.

Kirk here with an English-language article about how Kumamoto's Murakami-sama saved the day:
Kirk here reporting that Kumamoto's Murakami-sama came through to drive in the winning home runs in today's game against Mexico. Murakami hadn't been doing as well as expected in the World Baseball Classic but he came through when it really mattered. Tomorrow Japan plays the U.S.
