Japan 11, Australia 2
Here’s three minutes of video highlights of the last Japan-Australia WBC warm up.
Daisuke Matsuzaka struggled, allowing 5 hits and 2 runs in 2 1/3 innings, but Toshiya Sugiuchi was excellent K’ing 5 on no hits in 2 1/3. In the video you can see him getting a couple of close calls from the plate umpire.
Gwynar of Sim Cental liveblogged the game, so you can check out the play by play here (thanks to reader Mike for the link).

Hi, I was wondering if you knew of anywhere I could follow the WBC matches live on the internet? I live in England, which is pretty much a black-hole as far as baseball coverage is concerned.
Thanks, and I’m really enjoying your blog. It’s tough keeping track of Japanese baseball over here.

The WBC site has an official package for $19.99: http://web.worldbaseballclassic.com/multimedia/package.jsp
Failing that, I’m sure someone will stream it on justin.tv.

This was a domestic Australia team missing its America based players, right?
