Today, at the @WBSCEurope European Cup, the @LondonMets' Quin Cotton had—without a doubt—the best performance by a @BritishBaseball player in modern history: a two-run HR in the 5th, a solo shot in the 8th, and another two-run bomb in the 9th. #BritishBaseball

The Red Sox FO Van had “COACHES4HIRE” on it after the firings 😭

Fantastic news for Uganda to get @jica_direct_en involved, as the organisation has been transformative for #Africanbaseball. The fact that the Hawks will participate is even better. #BaseballAfrica #BaseballUganda

[Baseball Uganda @BB_Uganda]

The SoftBank Hawks are getting involved in Ugandan baseball.
“SoftBank will dispatch personnel to the Republic of Uganda as JICA Overseas Cooperation Volunteers with the aim of promoting and supporting baseball in the country”

Anyone else still not recovered from the highs and lows of an amazing 12 days of the #WorldBaseballClassic?

[Extra Innings UK: Baseball Around the World @ExtraInningsUK]

What a performance! @TeamBeisbolVe are world champions. It's the first-ever WBC title for @FEVEBEISBOL and the fourth overall (1941, 1944, 1945). Great news for a country that really deserves it.

Spoke with Sam Aldegheri before the game, and he said, 'This [Italy's success] is good for European baseball. It's even bigger than just Italy now.' @FIBSpress @IABF5 @ChrisVaccaro @ABLblogger

Wilyer Abreu. Solo shot. Centre field, 414 ft., 106.1 mph. Abreu having a jolly good time as he stretches his legs on his evening walk.

Salvador Pérez jumpstarts the @TeamBeisbolVe offence with a single in the second, going to second on a walk, third on a wild pitch, and scoring on a Maikel García sacrifice fly. Javier Sanoja just a fantastic cheerleader.

We are live for the last time at #WBC2026, as USA takes the field for pre-game warm-ups, looking for its second #WorldBaseballClassic title against upstarts Venezuela. First pitch at 20:00 EST/01:00 GMT/02:00 CET.

Last night, Adam Ottavino told our Managing Editor before the game, 'Tonight could be the last professional game of my career.' Today, could the same be true of Clayton Kershaw? #WorldBaseballClassic

[Extra Innings UK: Baseball Around the World @ExtraInningsUK]

One of the key moments of the game is Ronald Acuña's single to score Andrés Giménez, queueing an iconic celebration by @TeamBeisbolVe. After time is called, Acuña is dragged off the field by his teammates. @FEVEBEISBOL
