Foreign two teams that have played really well in this tournament and of course it’s single elimination from here on out it’s Puerto Rico and Mexico he has a lot of just potent stuff he likes to work fast likes to work at the top of the Zone I can’t wait to watch him
Just a good pitch up up in the zone right there no messing around so we see that four seamer look at the ride on this look how underneath the door is on it yeah he’s late he’s underneath he had no chance we’ll execute a pitch right
There by urius so TK Hernandez is the first base runner of the game Nelson Velasquez steps in Puerto Rico with a one out Pace Runner don’t be a second second he sent a ground ball base hit oh he got Hernandez taking for third and he’ll make it in there first and third with
One out we got action early and often his keeper team Puerto Rico you see the shift you just go right with it we’re gonna get first and third there he is in a pickle early on Emmanuel Rivera he’s had a lot of good at bats so far for Puerto Rico
OT again this this one he will get there the catch TK tags here comes the throw all the way on the top line and Hernandez scores the first run of the game it’s one nothing one of their biggest knots for Puerto Rico is after the first round play scoring runs has
Been a difficulty so far early on right now they’re having really good at bats well you would figure Baez would be one of the main weapons against a tough Lefty like this Runner goes 1-2 driven to right field hard hit going back on the ball Verdugo it is [Applause]
Oh baby you think he knew it was it was out viable’s finest he’s here to play Rico they have seven first inning runs now in five games in this tournament they have been a quick starting team after the [Laughter] [Applause] afternoon Rosario’s finest what a swing the
Two-step back the only Lefty in the lineup against Urias first pitch to the big part of the ballpark It’s a Party Guy pitching for Puerto Rico he was the MVP of the World Baseball Classic for the United States back in 2017 Marcus strowman so now Verdugo a big Chopper up
The middle and Lindor what range and the throw got him at first oh my beautiful play Oh My showman loves it Verdugo can’t believe it put it in your pocket more normal delivery and just a normal ground ball to short and the door takes a throw and that couldn’t have gone
Better for Puerto Rico in the first inning four runs on offense and a one two three inning for strowman Rios who allowed the four runs on three hits in the first inning including two home runs he threw 28 pitches Strikes Out Swinging Julio Rios the first inning went but he gets the
Strikeout here he got the fastball a lot of times he can tell the demeanorias right took his time with that pitch too much too much goes down swinging for the second time that’s more like it for orias he strikes out the side Racine Marcus at his finest right now it was a
Huge sock Paredes right-handed hitter hammer for left center field going back on the ball is Rosario and it’s gone Paredes goes deep and Mexico is on the board hermosillo’s finest there’s a hanging slider second time Marcus strowman in this tournament has thrown backsliders and have gotten deposited
That’s a really good swing right there short to the baseball staying through the zone that ball got out of here in a hurry that’s a lead off hit Baez is two for two and now we’ve documented those two first inning home runs won by Baez won by this guy it was impressive home
Run to straight away center field display it’s a chopper towards second grubbed to the bag for one and the throw to first double play Griz has definitely made the adjustment right now just a good double play right there well handled by Alan Trejo swinging at the first pitch worked really well for Eddie
Rosario first time what else can you say this is a guy that as soon as he got up to the big leagues pitchers cannot get him out at all that one out to left center field Here Comes making the dive of the catch Kika can cover some ground can he wow
All out extension right here it’s just the first move that he takes he really has a knack for good place and he knows he’s going to make a play on it two on two outs for the cleanup hitter Emmanuel Rivera is driven in a run with a sack
Fly bounces it to short Trejo the second for the force out there and Assad gets through it a hit and a walk but two stranded this is exactly the spot that Mexico wants still a long way to go in this game they fell behind four nothing
Give yourself a chance for a rally with your best hitter and maybe the best hitter in the tournament so far coming up the 3-1 that is outside ball four and it just looked like Marcus Stroman did not want to give a rosarina a chance to
Get Mexico back in this game but now the bases are loaded now Alex Verdugo Bases Loaded one out talking about a moment for Verdugo one for 18 in the tournament middle of the field is the play another 3-2 for Marcus strowman Here Comes Verdugo to shallow Center a little blue
And it’s gonna fall base in everybody had to make sure so Thomas comes in to score bases still loaded it’s four to two professional Alex Verdugo absolutely professional grinding and at bat at his finest right there well that’s it for Marcus strowman who threw the ball well leaves with a lead
But he’s going to lean on the bullpen each one to shallow Right Here Comes Melendez racing in and going out from first the catch and the wheel around to keep the runner at third Soto what a play what an absolute gem now tell us Mason’s still loaded one two pulled with
The shift up and shallow right Baez has it and he throws him out wow what a job by Rios and strobin the first to greet him it’s really been an incredible job by Mexico to keep this game and now well within reach four to nothing and Mexico
Came back with two solo runs to make it four to two their pitching staff keeping them in it [Applause] do with that too close to take if you’re a young kid and you want to love baseball you come to this atmosphere and oh my goodness it is a sight definitely
Where you want to be on a Friday night in Miami [Applause] he’s got plenty of time it’s an incredible job by Assad what he’s able to do right now he’s controlled these hitters warriors did what Assad has done I mean other than the first inning that’s all they’ve had Alexis Diaz comes
Into pitch for the bottom of the seventh the brother of Edwin Diaz and as he entered the game the trumpets were blaring the song ahead when he has to bring his brother in very emotional for Alexis Diaz so rosarino on base for the third straight time he’s the tying run
And still no outs Jim Verdugo come through again this is the value we’re talking about 3-0 pitch basketball four that’s it yeah has already made the move so Jorge Lopez coming in and what a mess he’s gonna face base is loaded nobody out for Mexico a little pop-up
On a Watson and he’ll catch it for at number one you got to be careful I think Lopez slipped while he was making that pitch he looks a little bit uncomfortable right now got him struck him out there’s your action pitch that’s your best pitch right there 2-2 going
With that slider now trying to get out of a Bases Loaded nobody out jammed this is that good at bats tonight including the Home Run they got Mexico on the board back in the second line drive beats it left field that’s going to tie the game Barnes is in here comes the
Rosarina he’ll score Verdugo slides into third it’s four to four in the seventh you want to talk about adjusting yourself throughout the event early on looking soft made a hit with a basketball 2-0 went back to it well executed pitch not a bad one just got
Enough of it Perez is doing a fantastic job staying through that baseball Mexico’s come all the way back they were down four nothing before they had a single at bat in this game and now here in the seventh it’s four to four a little flip shot into right field that’s
Another hit and that will put Mexico ahead Verdugo has scored the Reyes comes through five to four was alive magdalena’s finest Luis biggest moment for Mexico biggest moment for warriors Mexico takes the lead this just feels like an Oscar De La Hoya versus Felix Trinidad fight
3-2 he runs Rivera Fly ball left center field him well a rosarina back and he will leap up and make the catch Melendez has the hustle to get back in and he will want to play unbelievable you’re not gonna pitch to me fine I’ll save you a run
Unreal ah the greatest bats in this inning for Puerto Rico can Rosario come through bias runs Rosario pops it up is it playable Barnes underneath it Barnes makes a catch it was good it wasn’t as good as a rosareness well they will use the pinch Runner jonestv Farkas who does
Have good speed at first tying run at first nobody out with the pitch Runner Square the button popped up [Applause] definitely turned into a double play but a huge first down and a wasted out he’s got the red light this is going to be Manu imano right here your best against
Mine here we go this is it Lindor Light Drive shot over Vargas stops at second one and a half Gallegos all he can do is just shake his head two two change up right there and door doesn’t try to do too much with it Puerto Rico has not scored since the
First inning Hernandez is walking the first inning got that rally started can he tie the game and keep Puerto Rico’s Championship hopes alive 2-2 and strike three calls one of the biggest comebacks in World Baseball Classic history and it sets Mexico into the semi-finals for the very
First time what a comeback what a moment for Team Mexico viva Mexico is still alive
