thank you we've been in enough wbcs to know that you get playoff atmospheres this this is something else it feels like by the time this night is done we might see the largest crowd to ever watch a baseball game in this Stadium the reaction of the Mexican fans and a rose Arena never budge from first that's going to go our way and it does and here is menesus hit deep left [Music] two nothing Mexico he picture Nick Martinez distracted by a rosarina's presence at first held the ball held the ball held the ball finally threw a pitch and he missed his spot this is a pretty interesting matchup here at Kyle Sucker against Patrick Sandoval Tucker has owned Sandoval early in his career and he hammers this one down the right field line and into the corner Tucker to Second Verdugo having trouble and Tucker is in with a triple Carl tuck is a scary scary hitter Anderson Just a terrific player his first at bat lies it into right field that's a hit and that's a run for USA this is a beautiful swing with the runner in third base he's just thinking about driving something to the opposite field and plating that rent and he delivers Randy rosarina in the Box base hit in the first Anderson and he's there and makes the catch and holds on all right I'll tell you what you're talking about running a long way to get to a ball Anderson took off as soon as that ball was off the rosarina's back he's a tremendous athletic shortstop now monesses who brought half of the crowd out of their seats with an absolute bolt that's a fair ball Arenado unbelievably is human earn Otto's got such great range he gloves it and when he reaches in there he didn't get a good grip on the baseball and he just flat out dropped it it's an infield hit for Meneses telez Big Time power for this Lefty bat kind of off the end of the bat that's McNeil out there and he can't get it off his glove stumbles a bit and that's going to go as a base hit McNeil on the shift was way out in in right Fields they were headed his bouncing as you reach for it and it actually went off the thumb of his glove Andy Pettit is on his way out to the mound 21 pitches this inning 65 is the pitch limit he's 10 away so USA has to get an arm ready Paredes who walked back in the first big opportunity for Mexico he shoots it to the right side McNeil has it fires it and they got it no it's bobbled he's safe 3-1 Mexico and that's it for Nick Martinez think about the small margins in this city the Bobble by arronado on the monesses ground ball telez little Looper that was just off the glove of McNeil and that one that was in and out of the glove of Goldschmidt and Mexico Cashes in with a run Kendall graveman got in gear when he became a reliever comes in in a big spot here first and second there is 0 for five In This World Baseball Classic slow Tapper Graven has it darts towards first gets the out Mexico adds on Brady singer on the mound now for USA Splendid year with the Royals Thomas a good-looking young player who gets that fastball and stays on it or is it rain in matting with a base open wow he's gonna get it died of fastballs away and Sliders he's not going to get anything to the challenge side of the inside part of the plate especially the heater a Rosarita Right Center Field have [Applause] four 4-1 Mexico why did they pitch to him there I don't get it I really don't get it I mean he has proven time and time again in big situations he will drive in tough rooms he has done it already in his tournament he did it in the postseason at a record Pace why would you give him anything to hit Columbia tried it he heard him the USA tried it and he's hurt them 30 pitches for a reliever in an inning well and there's a lot of strategy we've talked about it in a series where you're going to play just four games I mean are you saving pitchers for another game and Here Comes manesses Who blasted one out of here in the first inning Drive Tucker back on three run three Roxy cow manesus again pitch number 31 for singer in orbit and what an epic backflip by monesses one of the best that's right up there with the Jose Bautista bat flip the two guys that can do the damage have done the damage in this inning adamito in for USA a rosarina now with first base open so rosarina swinging to Misses and the umpires behind home plate once again many of them have adopted the style of the retired umpire Tom hallion literally tore himself in half with his cold strike three what's at stake here it's not just a win it's a crucial win if you're Mexico they lost to Colombia yesterday but they win this game they're one and one and they have the head-to-head tie break with Team USA in the air left field hit pretty well a rosarina back at the wall and it's gone and Will Smith has homered he's a pretty good offensive player he had 87 RBIs during the regular season and he's got some power and he gets one back here and here comes Randy orozarena it's certainly a different feel now than it was in the fourth inning Arosa Reina fairball Barnes will score they can't stop him 8-2 How You Like Me Now to Les second and third and with one out infield in telez ground ball base hit left field Duran scores right behind a rosarina teles makes it 10-2 our concert has broken out encore how about that I think these people are having fun I know I am wow you are quite a scene 47 534 are having a blast here at Chase Field liner to left that's a hit telez is rolling in Eddie scores Trejo with a RBI singer left his second hit 11 to 2. in a tournament like this you can wait around for your offense to get rolling it's a great Point rich and part of the answer could be standing at home plate right now and the person of Bobby Witt Jr Bobby Witt in the right field that's a hit and it's 11-3 Bobby Witt is a dynamic young player and he can flat out fly he was headed for third base but Holtzman ahead of him was stopped at third by the third base coach Dino evil Marlins scores yeah this is a tough spot now you bring Tim Anderson to the plate base is loaded eighth inning Mexico needs four more outs in this game that's a fair ball and that'll score at least two and USA is a little bit closer what did Yogi say it's not over until it's over USA's got to come from a little further behind that would set the all-time record for a comeback because they've been coming back for a while here crowd buzzing 11-5 Mexico two outs in the ninth Goldsmith Thomas says that's mine that's number 10 he's caught and and Mexico has taken down USA a crucial win in pool C and it started with a Jerry menesius two-run home run into first inning they were really stung Mexico was by that loss in Extra Innings yesterday tonight that's a distant memory now they got the tie break and head to head against Team USA
