The World Baseball Classic’s Pool B schedule will begin Sunday afternoon with a doubleheader at Mexico City’s Foro Sol. Cuba will take on South Africa in the day’s opener, followed by a nightcap between Australia and host Mexico.
Cuba was a finalist in the inaugural WBC in 2006, losing to Japan in the final game. All-time Cuban outfield great Osmani Urrutia is back as are third baseman Yulieski Gourriel and pitcher Pedro Lazo. They will be the team to beat in the pool. Three Pool B teams played exhibition games against major league teams in Arizona. Mexico took a 7-3 win over Colorado Tuesday, Australia won an 11-9 against Seattle Wednesday, and South Africa lost to Oakland one day later, 6-1.
