MIAMI (AP) — Hobbled and humbled in the World Baseball Classic, Team USA is still swinging. David Wright hit a two-run single in the bottom of the ninth inning to cap a three-run rally Tuesday night, and the injury-plagued Americans qualified for this weekend’s semifinals with a 6-5 win over Puerto Rico.
