The most improbable story of the World Baseball Classic added a new chapter.
Zach Borenstein hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the sixth, and the Israel bullpen protected the lead the rest of the way in a 4-1 win over Cuba in the second round of the 2017 WBC on Sunday afternoon at Tokyo Dome.
"Obviously we're happy to have won a game against one of the premier teams in all of international baseball," Israel manager Jerry Weinstein said. "I think this is the first game we were behind. I think we've been ahead in every game thus far, and we came back and won a game against an extremely good Cuban team."
