| HP: Ted Barrett | 1B: Paul Hyham | 2B: Bill Miller | 3B: Edgar Estivision | LF: Wally Bell | RF: Trevor Grieve The championship round of the 2013 World Baseball Classic was held at AT&T Park in San Francisco, California, United States, from March 17 to 19, 2013.
The championship round was decided in two semi final games and a final game. In the final (championship) game, the team with the higher winning percentage of games in the tournament were to be the home team. If the teams competing in the final had identical winning percentages in the tournament, then World Baseball Classic, Inc. (WBCI) would conduct a coin flip or draw to determine the home team.
The Dominican Republic defeated the Netherlands and Puerto Rico to win their first World Baseball Classic championship. Robinson Canó was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player.

Semifinal 1 − Puerto Rico 3, Japan 1
LF − Ted Barrett, RF − Paul Hyham
Two time World Baseball Classic defending champions Japan faces off against surprising upstart Puerto Rico in the first semi-final matchup. Puerto Rico scores a run from the first inning and scored two additional runs from a home run by Alex Ríos as the Japanese team struggle to catch up. Japan, however, only managed to score at least a run; Seiichi Uchikawa made a baserun snafu in an effort to steal second but was caught up between first and second bases as catcher Yadier Molina tags Uchikawa for a second out. Despite the efforts, Japan eventually loses to Puerto Rico 3-1 as their championship streak from two previous World Baseball Classic games has ended and the Japanese team gracefully bows out to the stands and the Puerto Rican baseball team after their defeat.
