Japan wins the 2023 WBC in front of a sell out crowd. Making it their third WBC championship title, 2006 and 2009 being the only time any team has won back-to-back.
Shohei Ohtani won MVP honors pitching the ninth and earning the save for the World #1, he also had important base hits in both the semifinal and final games. But, it was Murakami against Mexico after having three strikeouts, who hit the walk off rbi double off of Gallegos. And Murakami again against USA who tied it in the eighth, followed by Okamato who added an extra run as he homered off of Kyle Freeland.
Two weeks of dramatic and captivating games rolled into one final Murakami game breaking hit. The Japan team began celebrating on the mound in LoanDepot park, as production began working on setting up the winner's podium for the trophy presentation and MVP presentation.
