The "Dream Team" U.S. national baseball team, which made it to the knockout stage with a close life, beat Canada hard to reach the semifinals.

The U.S. beat Canada 5-3 in the second round of the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC) at Daikin Park in Houston, Texas on the 14th (Korea time).

It was a big step up in the selection fight. Logan Webb (San Francisco Giants), a U.S. starter, led the early atmosphere with four hits, one walk, five strikeouts and no runs in four ⅔ innings. On the other hand, Canadian starter Michael Soroka (Arizona Diamondbacks) was sluggish with four hits, two walks, one strikeout and three runs (two earned) in two ⅔ innings.

With both teams exchanging eight hits, the U.S.'s early concentration shone. In the top of the first inning, Bobby Wit Jr. walked and Aaron Judge doubled to left field, Kyle Schwarber hit a ground ball to open the first inning.

In the top of the third inning, leadoff hitter Peak Crowe-Armstrong also got on base with an infield hit to create an opportunity. The two subsequent batters were grounded out on consecutive ground balls, but Judge walked and Schwarber loaded the bases with infield hits.

Canadian third baseman Abraham Toro made a decisive error. Two runners homered as Alex Bregman misplayed a three-run grounder to first base. United States' 3-0 lead. In the top of the sixth inning, pitchers Adam McCaw and Cro-Armstrong, who had Bryce's fight changed with one out and runners on the first and second bases, hit two consecutive RBI timely hits.

Canada, the best member of all time, saved three points in the sixth inning and saved face. In the bottom of the sixth inning, when the team was losing 0-5, Tyler Black made a timely RBI single to the left and Bonaylor drew a two-run arch over the right-center field, chasing 3-5.

For Canada, the opportunity in the bottom of the eighth inning was the most regrettable. Eduardo Jullien and Otto Lopez had consecutive hits, and he had chances on the second and third bases with no outs on the opponent's catcher's passing ball. However, David Bedna struck out Josh Naylor on third base and Tyler O'Neill and Owen Casey on consecutive strikeouts, giving them no points in the end.

The U.S., which reached the semifinals after many twists and turns, will move to Rondipo Park in Miami on the 16th to face Dominica, which beat South Korea. Earlier, Dominica was the first to confirm the semifinals after winning the cold game 10-0, the seventh inning.
