Venezuela defeated the United States 3-2 in the World Baseball Classic on Tuesday night. It was the country’s first championship in the international baseball tournament.
Team USA was flat for most of the game, trailing 2-0 heading into the eighth inning. Bryce Harper then hit a two-run home run to tie the game, setting up the ninth inning for Venezuela’s dramatic win, when Eugenio Suarez hit what would be a game-winning double to drive in Javier Sanoja for a 3-2 lead. Venezuela’s Daniel Palencia then threw a perfect ninth inning to end the game and win the WBC.
