Super teams collide in the semi-final. It's the United States and the Dominican Republic
with a trip to the championship game up for grabs. Paul Skenes and Albert Pujos said, yeah,
we haven't faced a guy like this in the tournament, but he hasn't faced a lineup like
we've got in his life. So now he faces Juan Soto. Juan Soto pulls it on the ground, diving
stop by Bryce Turin. 123 1st Paul Sche. Highlight play from the platinum Glover of the
Milwaukee Brewers. 22 year old Junior Caminero , one of the breakout stars of this tournament,
the world getting to see him. Cainero leans out.
He does it on a 2 strike pitch. The Dominican Republic has broken the World Baseball Classic
record, the 15th home run for the team, and they've got the first run in this semi-final. 2
down in the 3rd, 36 pitches for Skenes. Arte popped out his first time. He shows off that
cut with a base hit to right. Patis heads for 3rd, throw from.
It's touchdown to Gunner Henderson starts the 4th for Team USA
56 and 7 against Cheino the 9th pitch turns on it, sends a flat ball to right center field.
Henderson is tied. De Rosa pushes the right button, pushing Gunner Henderson into the
lineup. Numbers that you could not deny against Luis Severino in his career. Gregory
Suto and the lefties on to face Roman Anthony here. Right center field, Rodriguez and Tatisco.
is gone Anthony gives the US the lead. Here's Judge who's 1 for 2.
Centerfield Rodriguez.
Spider-Man grabbing Superman. So the tying run is now 90 ft away and it's up to
Geraldo Perdomo. It is the championship. The United States takes down.
That is the Dominican Republic 2 to 1, the final score. That's one of the reasons you want
to have him as your number 2 hitter. He does get on base quite a bit. He swings and drives
it down the right field side deep. It is gone. That's a home run for Tucker. His 2nd of the
spring, and the Dodgers take a 2 to 1 lead. And it's through
the hole left side of the base hit. Evan's gonna round 3. McCutchen up throwing, but. He's
not gonna be able to get it to the plate. It's cut off and the Dodgers have the lead. Andy
Paez. And these guys take a lot of ball. Well that's it well out to left field, back going
over there is Lucas. It's off the base of the wall. I believe it's on. It is gone. It's hard
to see. Marcus Simeon, his 2nd home run of the spring. There you go, stung to the
right side for Bobachette. That's an RBI single as the Mets extend their lead here. He's
gonna have a real advantage. That one is into left field and deep. Grecik back, still back on
the track, turning, looking gone. And just like that, the Tigers up 3-0. 32-year-old lefty
Framer Valdez makes his 3rd outing of the spring. 3-2, and he gets a
big swing and miss on the curveball. Big swing and miss on the curveball that plays. Out as
that is a swinging strike 3. So 123 inning for Fromber and one of the unique things about
being a, especially a bullpen arm is this one is set on the line deep to the left. Grid going
back at the track. He leaps up and it's gone a home run. Touch them all, Matt Veerling, his
2nd of the spring. It's 6-0. And that's it in the
air, center field, Shaw back at the warning track and Mookie goes yard. Mookie Betts is
ready for 2026, solo homer here in the third, and it's 6 to 0 Dodgers. Lefty fires,
swing and a miss, went back to the chain. So he doubles up on the changeup, 0-2 pitch on the
way. Kemp swings and tips that into the middle of Sandy Leon for strike 3. Checking the
runners, now he cuts it loose, swung on and tipped into the m for strike 3. 3-0 pitch
stroked in the air towards deep right field, sprinting back Leon over his head and gone.
Tyler Toby put the long stroke on one right here in the ninth inning and it's the game's
first run. So what was the deal? You guys had a, uh, a big high school rivalry this one
ripped and fair and.
Jason Delay sending that one without delay. Line drive
to center field and that'll make it all the way to the wall. Wong wheeling around, he'll be
sent in. Connor Wong heading in and will cross the plate with the 6th run of the game for the
Red Sox. Brandon Font on the mound today. It's a manager. What a great pitch that was, that
was beautiful. There's that fought curveball. And Brandon Fought comes up with that sweeper.
That's the way that pitch looked against the Dodgers last week. Yeah, he did, beautiful. 3rd
strikeout for Brandon, he's set down 6 in a row now. Chase Bowen, the center fielder for
the Padres down 0-2. 0 boy, Brandon Fought is just ringing them up and sitting them down.
Yeah, he did. Brandon Fought strikes out the side in the 5th, 2 outs in a 4-1 game.
Eo Sanabri, the first baseman, is the hitter. Punches that one fair inside the line
for another San Diego run. It Karam's out there for Roberts. 2 runs are gonna score and
it's a 1-run Diamondback lead. Sabbria sends 2 more home. Things are in a very good place
right now for Shane. Here he comes, swing and a miss. He throws on 1 and 2, check swing at a
breaking ball strike. 32-2 pitch got him swinging and what a first inning for Shane
McClanahan. Bart swings and misses at the off-speed strike 34 punchouts all on off speed
by Shane McClanahan. 3-2 pitch, off-speed strike 3 called. 5 strikeouts for McClanaha on
1 and 2, swing and a miss strike. He has struck out 6 of the 1st 9 hitters and pitching.
High fly ball. The wind will knock this one down, I think. Back to the wall is Reynolds. He
looks up and that one is gone. Home run against the wind for Cedric Mullins, and it's 3
to 0 Rays. Connor Griffin leads off. He's struck out and grounded out. Live ball to
center, going back is Melton to the wall, leaps up, can't make the play. It's off the
wall, and Connor Griffin into third base with a leadoff triple in the 9th. Well, it's a home
run. It hit off the top of the wall and apparently carried off that boardwalk, so a
home run for Connor Griffin, his 4th of the spring. This guy's gonna make a huge difference.
Donovan with a swing and a drive deep into the gap in right center field. Backing off the
fence, lot of hops. Melrani 3rd, he'll score. Carmelo right on his heels. Johnny slides
in safely. Two-run double. The gap in right center field has tied the game
at 2. Runners get their leads. They're bouncing around. Here's the pitch swung out
line drive deep into the gap in left center field. The bases. Donovan Ronnie 3rd, he's
gonna score. Randy the 3rd, he's gonna be waved in. The throwing is cut off by De la Cruz.
No. Lukeraley at 2nd base with a 2 run. Mariners.
4 to 2 here in the bottom of the fifth inning. All 4 here in the 5th. 2-1
pitch. Goodman cracked this to deep center field. We see the numbers on Teodosio as he
watches it fly over the batter's eye. A 3-run home run. The Rockies lead 4-0 in the 3rd.
2nd home run of the spring for Hunter Goodman, and boy did that feel good. This lineup
presents there's a swing and a miss, so Benintendi down on 3 pitches. Next pitch,
swung out and missed. Pitch out away from him. In comes a pitch and a fastball up and
challenge and swing and miss a back to back strikeout to a tournament like that, and the
intensity is a lot different. There's a check swing, but he went around and when he played
for the Washington Senators, I remember a game and there's a drive that I'll remember for a
while because it's gone and so will Brandon Drury remember that one. This game is tied at 2.
It's Robbie Ray making his 5th start, and there is a swinging strike
3. 2-2 pitch, a fastball struck him out swinging. 0-0 game. 2 on the
pitch, swinging. There's a high drive way back into left field, headed for the McDowell
Mountains. 3 to 0 Giants. What a shot.
Ozuna was, yeah, he was their center fielder. The strike 3 called on a breaking ball and
Robbie Ray is struck out 7:02 pitch, swing and a miss, he struck him out.
With a hard slider, the pitch comes in, swing and a miss. He struck him out, and there's that
slider, Robbie Ray with his 8th strikeout. For more on these and
