Late-inning heroics from Adam Jones and Eric Hosmer vaulted the United States past Venezuela, 4-2, on Wednesday night at Petco Park in yet another World Baseball Classic thriller.
The U.S. bats were quiet throughout much of the night until Jones brought a much-needed spark with a game-tying leadoff homer in the eighth. Hosmer followed three batters later with a two-run blast that ultimately handed the U.S. a win in its second-round opener.
Venezuela now faces a must-win matchup with the Dominican Republic, which also lost its second-round opener, on Thursday night at 10 ET (live on MLB Network and MLB.TV). Team USA has Thursday off before resuming play Friday against Puerto Rico (10 p.m. ET, live on MLB Network and MLB.TV). The two 1-0 Pool F teams will compete for an inside track to the semifinals in Los Angeles.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Great 8th: Jones, whose walk-off single handed U.S. the victory in its tournament opener against Colombia on Friday, again played hero for Team USA, tying Wednesday’s game with a solo shot against Venezuelan reliever Hector Rondon in the eighth inning. Hosmer, MVP of the 2016 All-Star Game at Petco Park, found his San Diego stroke again with a two-run shot that proved to be the game-winner.
