WBC: South Korea vs. Venezuela

Even though it's only the second inning, the pace of the game seemed to be dictated completely by South Korea.

Already firing off 6 hits, including two home runs, and 7 runs across the board in the first two innings, the Korean offense seems to be doing what they do best.

But with 3 errors behind Carlos Silva in just 2 innings, who knows what can happen as the game goes on.

After two complete innings from both teams, the score sits: S.Korea 7 and Venezuela 0. Had the mercy rule been in effect, the game could potentially end soon. Instead, the rule does not apply for semi-final and final games.

Will update this soon.

FINAL
South Korea 10
Venezuela 2

Well, at least the Venezuelans didn't make the 9 errors I thought they'd make... which would have been hilarious as well as interesting. Still, props that they made it to the semi-finals this time, much better than what they did in the 2006 classic.

Now that South Korea has claimed a spot in the finals, the only event left is the United States-Japan matchup coming up Sunday, 8 P.M. EST. Again, congratulations to the South Korean team.

Let's see if my predictions stand correct. Final round: Japan vs. South Korea.
