WOW! USA wins in the 9th!
Wow what a game! One of the best endings I have seen in a while! The USA were down 5-3 and were facing J.C. Romero. The Puerto Rican closer was not warming up and then started to but never was called on to try to close the deal. Romero gave up a few hits and walked some guys to get the bases loaded with 1 out. The score was 5-4 at that time with Mr UnClutch David Wright up. On a 2-1 low fastball, he blooped a single into right field and scored 2 guys. That was the game. Talk all you want about the US not wanting to be there or that they have no heart, but they showed it tonight. Hopefully Braun is available for the next round and Fuentes can come back. They may also call up Longoria if need be. It should be a great Semifinal with the US, Venezuela, Japan/Korea/Cuba.
