Puerto Rico defeated the United States 4-3 on Friday, eliminating the country from the World Baseball Classic.

The Americans endured a scoreless streak of 14 innings spanning their final two defeats.

The U.S. has still not won the WBC -- or even reached the final -- in three tries.

"When you play double-elimination, it's a crapshoot," manager Joe Torre said. "And [Nelson] Figueroa pitched his tail off tonight."
