The United States is still in the World Baseball Classic thanks to South Korea.

The Associated Press on Wednesday said South Korea's 2-1 win over Japan saved the Americans from elimination, and a U.S. victory over Mexico will ensure a rematch with South Korea in the semifinal.

Team USA would have gone home had Japan won in nine innings and scored seven runs or less under the tiebreaker system.

U.S. Manager Buck Martinez said South Korea's win was one of the most tense games he has watched.

South Korea beat the United States, 7-3, Monday.
