He'll try again another one to pitch Jones hits a fly ball to straight away center field Chuteau at the wall he jumps. Magic in the air at a time when every single out is quite valuable perfectly time. Judge swings launches it deep left field Herron Judge the captain sets the tone in Houston it's to nothing United States. He was the first commit to the team 11 months ago. And if you're going to be the captain that's a way to set the tone for your club and it gets this little sweeper tries to get it down and away from him. But Aaron Judge does not miss the high balls across the middle all the way across the zone really. Steven one of the struggles the history and the recent history for Korea they need to score and have a beginning immediately. Body shocks to one moon hammers it in the air right center field this ball is good and grand for Korea a moon shot in an early four nothing lead. This team score a lot of runs go back to twenty twenty three but just could not pitch the way they're supposed to pitch and here we go impact right off the bat exactly what they needed at forces Pavel Hadim to go to his bullpen after just one out in the bottom of the first for nothing. Korea leads. And he kept alive for Jaron Duran and a scoreless third inning line drive base hit right field and so after their first base runner they get their first hit. Judges scored a third gets him and ends the inning Aaron Judge touchdown Ortiz the captain for the US. He does it with his arm here against Team Mexico. Tony with three grand slams in his MLB career looking for one in the WBC the two one now. All the off speed now he says I'm going to look off speed but I need to keep the bat through the zone. It looks like he's full but let me tell you that's not getting full. I have the ability to do this find the path of the baseball. And they bring forty five home runs to the plate. Junior Caminero as the crowd gets into it here at home. That swing had levels to it wanted something to cheer for the people of Santo Domingo where he's from had something to cheer for now. Talk about the resumes of Manny and Blatty and Soto just starting to build that resume. Junior Caminero we've talked about it before. He might be one of the more underrated players on this loaded Dominican team. Reminds me a lot of Manny Machado's first world baseball classic where Adrian Belcher was the guy now Manny giving it now to Caminero saying all right. Bouncing ball right side Contreras a great job to apply the tag. Once he stops it he knows he's not going to have a chance for a play at first but gets up and throws it to home plate. That's understanding the runner at second with the speed he's got. He knew there was going to be a potential play at home plate. It's a player that understands the field and slows down the game. And this crowd in the midst of doing the wave will look out and see one Soto coming to the plate one swing away from ending this ballgame Soto first pitch swinging. High fly ball right center field the Dominican Republic wins it. On a seventh inning walk off homerun from one Soto and a twelve one run rule win. Well third or fourth at bat. So watch out for that first pitch first pitch fourth at bat game over first plate appearance of the night for Austin Wells started the night on the bench and it's one and two pitching change. And he goes the other way a line shot towards Trace Thompson at the wall Lee Thompson Trace Thompson lunging out near the wall makes the catch. The former Dodger takes it out of the first row. Hey sometimes if you're going to have upsets you've got to have miraculous things happen. And that is one of the best catches you will see. So Trace Thompson has a knack though for making great catches at big time. He's got a personal highlight reel of dives and jumps. To gone in the third thirty six pitches for schemes are they popped out his first time he shows up. The Yankees fans I think the elbows just fine. Garcia trying to give him the lead on to Michael Garcia. Started with a walk to strike out Slater and then three consecutive singles all those opportunities they didn't cash in. It's a four pitch walk and a third consecutive inning. Johnny would have gotten a two out baserunner Grace Harper representing the tying run with two outs in the eighth inning. Harper says a fly ball to deep center field. When he laid off that change up it was a great sign obviously and he got one ball that he could get out in front. He's been getting close just missing fastballs. Well he didn't miss that one in perfect timing. Harper makes his. You're wondering how Team USA got home field advantage to be in this position. Boom the salute as Bryce Harper connects. And Dusty here is going to rely on his guy Bondo to face Ozzie Albies in this spot already with a hit against Obando scorching rocket to right field. What a swing for Albies what a swing for the Netherlands. Representing a tiny tiny window for the U.S. here in the fifth and they take advantage for Armstrong the third and Albies it gives the U.S. the lead Schwerber. Maybe the guy they want up in that spot more than anybody goes. Schwerber and he hit an absolute tank missile bomb way up into the upper deck. How many of those bombs have we seen from Schwerber over the years going to the upper deck at a ballpark in right field. In the eighth inning of a six three game for over a decade. This is what he does a little flick of the wrist. Glad he just loves it. Machado. He's been doing it for a long time. You think the first one was a good one. Fulman wants shame on me for me twice shame on you. Stop hitting it to him. Picture perfect. Then he cracks one diving stop at Schwerber right across the day. No possible Bobby Witt made it happen. Can I tell you about this man's IQ. He knew who was at the plate. He makes this play full well knowing he's got time to throw out not the most speedy runner. But this is an unbelievable play. I mean it's just an arm a one hop. And. Plenty of time. Wow. Here Clevenger comes into pitch here. Gonzalez. Another diving stop by Bobby Witt as he does. He has Bobby Witt dazzling for U.S.A. Wow. It's two plays that you might see in a year. We got to see him in this game. It's turned over to this team Dominican bullpen that's given up just one run in twenty two innings in this tournament. Gregory Soto and the lefties on to face Roman Anthony here. For team Italy and a pretty pretty good guy to add to the lineup for Team USA. Darrell is an athletics prospect. Ninety six games. The Triple-A Las Vegas last year three or five hitter 807 OPS. Here he is on the biggest stage in international baseball and the one to crushed left field line deep but in 20 years of the World Baseball Classic we had never had a walk off home run. And on this day we've had two. And Puerto Rico is two and oh. Back to back singles from Tovar and Torres and now it's a Bray you base it ties the game instead of a lifetime for Will Europe. He might send this to Caracas. Holy cow fastball. Watch this. This is even. Yes when you think one team sees all the momentum it completely flips a Bray you get that motion from the bench the bad throw. They're like tackling each other to celebrate. That ball's hit pretty well right field and deep Duran back to the wall. He is there leaps. It's one nothing Italy to right and that's deep and that's gone Pesquatch strikes his second six nothing cue the opera music his second home run with a guy the Royals fans refer to as the Pesquatch. That one I'm not sure if he got it all. Let's see it's deep it is gone. He's hit three. Then he's going to have so much Espresso in him he may not go to sleep tonight. This will be his third shot of Espresso. Then he take it easy big fella. There's George who's one for two. We just got hit by a pitch. I think he's all right. And the go ahead run is in scoring position with nobody out in the left center field headed for the gap. Well you ask what pitch is he like. It's the flat pitch over the middle of the plate and he didn't miss it and an explosion in that dugout and in the stadium and in that country. They let out school early today they let out work early so everybody could get home to watch this game. Means everything. It's up to Roman Anthony United States down to its last strike. For a team that was carrying a country a world baseball classic title Omar Lopez said his whole goal in this thing was to bring joy to the people back home to make his country happy. They don't just make everybody happy but they bring home the trophy win in the WBC for the first time.
