MEXICO vs. VENEZUELA TODAY FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS Aug 22 ,24 | 2024 LL Baseball World Series

Friday against Mexico in the first meeting between these teams he had a pair of singles also pitched in that game and that's where we got to know what he's capable of with his vo and so what's different this time around these seems have already met Manuela won that game 10 nothing in four Innings and held Mexico to one hit [Applause] El Chito as you said little cowboy ready to work he and his catcher Liss Ortiz are shaken a few times and a heater down misses Mike you asked kind of what's different this time around right and I think for Mexico a team that wasn't a good one in the first battle but now they have a good idea of how to pitch to certain guys right you kind of understand guys strengths and weak this is a little more after getting one game under the belt roller left side at Luis Longoria and one away and naturally the same goes for Venezuela right being able to understand what Mexico has to offer how can they duplicate the same attack that they had from the jump great crowd on hand for this one again cuz if these games are like yesterday at all we'll get a good one Domingo kadas his team Domingo kll had told his team going this is Jesus [Applause] Diaz we're talking with Domingo down on the field pregame text messages that he's still got to [Music] return it was so dramatic though he heard from a lot of people as you would expect and I'm sure he had a lot of those parent coaches giving him some advice going into the next game as well he said they had a game similar to yesterday's game they went over Aruba back home in Venezuela and from that he felt like his players learned to control their emotions and so they were prepared for the moment as a team right not feeling like you're ever down and out if you're going to play in a tournament like this you can't expect that you're just going to mop through every single team you play you're going to come through some adversity such a good verb for for dominance just mopping the floor that's what Venezuela had done though before they lost that game to and with a deliberate Pace from rul Hernandez Jesus Diaz as for [Applause] time so it's been a little different though the last two games 2-1 loss to Japan 2-1 win over Ruba a little bit tighter kind of more what you expect when you get this deep 32 and Diaz walks so he's on for a couple big bats coming in the three and four spots for Venezuela here in the top of the first the one thing I will say about the offenses for both of these teams is now that you've had quite a few games under your belt you'll see guys feel more comfortable at the plate and kind of calm the nerves a little bit not as much anxiousness as a hitter you've seen a lot of good good pitches live pitches seen some good velocity so it should make those hitters feel like a just a little bit more comfortable now there's always comfort for Venezuela when this guy's in the Box Jansen fredes thre hiter and left fielder hope play umpire signaling to increase the pace out there this game if it's like any of the others in this bracket will be play at a very very slow pace first pitch is down to the guy you saw with the nickname La pan Nea the Black Panther given to Janson by a friend of his mothers when he was 8 years old and it's stupped had a single yesterday against Aruba early a sharp line out after an 11 pitch battle and then he was the guy at the plate in the six with the bases loaded who had the walk-off walk he gets hit a walking a hit batter and there's two on for Venezuela Shadows you might have a little bit of an effect here as a hitter obviously you see the bright light on the pitcher but immediately it gets dark right after pitch is delivered sometimes that can mess with the hitter's eyes turn the light off real quick and you got to find the baseball tougher on off speed pitches so that's part of the obstacle here for Willian MAA clean up man in first baseman ball if there's going to be some Shadows where's the best place for a hitter to have them closer to the halfway is about the worst two and0 kicks away but no movement from the base runners for [Applause] Venezuela and now it looks like we're going to get a mount visit here from Mexico's coaching staff sayar via franka the oldest of the three via franka brothers who are coaching his team from Matamoros Mexico first time in Little League World Series history there's an entire coaching staff of Brothers Jorge is the manager 30-year-old middle school math teacher line drive right field base headit willan Mora Jesus Diaz gets waved around and Venezuela leads such a nice job of Willian MAA understanding hey after the coach comes out is talking to the pitcher I'm probably going to get something over the heart of the plate I'm going to get something to hit calm cool collected takes it right to right field uses the opposite field so odds are you're getting a strike Five Spot center fielder Samwell saw his mother waving a flag in the stands for Venezuela nickname ELO the lightning self-described fastest player on the team [Applause] [Music] coached by his father to left and it drops Jansen fredes scores two nothing Venezuela and Samuel kadel who dreamt of coming here after visiting as a three-year-old has his first hit kll not trying to do a whole lot right and what that means is I'm just trying to meet beat the barrel to the baseball not trying to be overly aggressive maybe a ball that got in on him just a little bit but still with his Bat path he was able to stay inside the baseball dunk something out to left and two on for Jose Petes and he said yeah he's usually an emotional guy but he took it to a different level yesterday andun watching him pitch he had quite the Antics after his case stress his dancing around the mound's telling his catcher pointing at him what he's going to throw directing base runners umpires at one point leg outs 45 pitches thrown so he could be eligible to pitch for Saturday if Venezuela gets there he's eligible Friday 02 he's done that type of stuff before Domingo was saying to was Jose's a really Scrappy player I think that's kind of how he pitched wouldn't you say definitely almost like he had a chip on his shoulder already ground ball to short at Antonio Guerrero the turn is not in time for two willan Mora holds it third on the ball in the dirt at first [Applause] Antonio Guerrero who is one of the heroes for Mexico directing traffic in the middle infield where you see a first and third play maybe a the runner on first breaking to second base maybe a steel stop in which he breaks and then stops and gives the runner on third a chance to break home if they throw through the second base the Batters Diego Bara yeah what will Venezuela do first and third first pitch swinging base hit right field Bea three nothing Venezuela in the first Vera did such a nice job of staying short and inside that baseball everything was very relaxed with that swing so smooth from the left side he was aggressive early and you got to love how the Barrel in the back pass stays through for a very long time he doesn't and when I say that it means he doesn't roll the hands over he's short to it and long through it Abraham Luca rolls one into Center P stops IT third and Venezuela's got him loaded is that they held wants more here in the first inning in Williams's got to make a move early Santiago soell comes in after 20 plus pitches from Raul Hernandez the batter Santiago beo first pitch swinging Guerrero it's short gets the force over to herard cisos inning over quick work for Santiago satell with three runs in 13 strong and they did it in comeback fashion yesterday but they only got one hit against Venezuela the first time they faced Venezuela on Friday things got to be different for Superstar Antonio Guerrero and his team against as you said the Flames from Luis yepez yeah you're just wondering do they have an answer for the heat right a kid that throws 80 M an hour equivalent to 104 from Major League distance unreal what this kid has been doing this time in the re in the uh here in the tournament and so look at this in total 83 pitches thrown and four of them 80 plus but everything feels like it's 74 plus I mean you got 25 pitches alone 77 to 79 for Luis YZ it's been petroleum 75 to Antonio Guerrero it's almost harder to believe that we saw a couple miles an hour harder than that last year from ponen Jun yeah Chinese Tye in the first start against Mexico leepz was excellent Guerrero to right Baker Saga tried to make the catch but he trapped it Guerrero didn't realize it now he does take second and he's got a double [Applause] Guerrero doing a nice job at least putting something in play catches it off the end and he thinks Z zaga catches this baseball but he trapped it was able to pick it back up get another look at the Trap does a nice job staying with it he had the book it all of a sudden and that is well huh he asked him if he feels okay told him to stretch it out a little and then at the end he said don't play Too Deep got to respect the effort right here if that ball gets by him that might be three for from Baker zaa and now rul Hernandez Jr tried to bunt against 74 from Sunday against Canada he had a single a run scoring triple and a walk in that one as well in the air right field zaga ranges into the Gap and makes the catch Carrero tags and at a blazing Pace moves up 60 ft towards the Outfield or if the infield is back like it is now just hit a ground ball and you find yourself with the first run on the board here's uliss s Mexico a two-run [Music] shot lisses has his godmother watch just like his catcher [Applause] did there's a fast ball it's 78 in away Luis YZ hard all you have to do is make contact you don't have to try to provide any extra juice and Ortiz knows that just put it in play if you get that opportunity there's the [Applause] so it doesn't take much as a hitter down a double a walk and a well struck fly out so far start to understand your timing a little bit more as a hitter and by the name of Barry Bonds 2016 all he talks about is catching the baseball broed your swing to make good make good make a good B path all you have from Luis Longoria third baseman Cleanup [Applause] [Music] Man he worked the walk got him something before the big home runs followed in the sixth inning and now we'll have time called again 28 minutes into this first inning [Applause] and he said that they're still in signs make sure you're closed up as a catcher you're not opening up too far so where the runner on first can see or the runner on second right strike three called as Longoria goes more he's showing it from the glove perspective and you can see his grip just a beautiful p with this signs so here Mexico Thiago soell takes ball get back to the top and you got two on here against Luis [Applause] yepez Santiago silder but hung on to it he has swung a good bat here in Williamsport he's ahead two and0 good cut he's throwing you strikes right because that's the that's the biggest thing is his command he's got great velocity but a lot of times you get these kids that are throwing extremely hard they don't have the best control so make sure he's got the command early you're right they've been patient and it's three and one being overly aggressive they've definitely come into this game with a lot more patience it's a walk second in a span of three batters and Mexico to make another visit so he's got to do any coaching from in there in The Dugout right the first baseman in the meat of the lineup Wiggles around and T and his third base coach was just jumping in the air telling him to get [Applause] back is given some instructions to Luis YZ and these are tense moments and maybe the toughest thing to do is tell a 12-year-old to calm down right relax a little bit take something off to 72 for a [Applause] strike spinning 2-1 swinging a miss two and two dialed it up to [Applause] 77 the 2- two fouled away on 78 so again if you're not familiar with the conversion here on pitching 8 have come from his right right arm two two swing and a miss Gonzalez strikes out and Luis yepez escapes Friday it was more than 20 straight wins together Monday they lost to Japan 2-1 as Japan got the go-ahead run in the fifth inning but now Venezuela's got the lead on Mexico again boy Mexico just had a great opportunity to get something there in the bottom of the first they really did you felt like they needed to at least bring in one of those runs but Venezuela gets out of that inning unscathed two and0 from Santiago Sello to Simon vieria 4' 11 100 lb second [Applause] basem by the way the the Mexico crowd support seb's been like embedded with them over the last couple of days so with them supporting this team you know it's going to be far from over and they're definitely one of the loudest Crews too lot of chance over there obviously you mentioned the support has been big but you can tell that they are here because you'll hear [Applause] them got that was called ball four and Simon vedia walks to begin the second the excitement of the World Series can be downloaded in the new Little League World Series app and there fans can check out schedules they can watch highlights and then they can also plan their experience using the official llws app download today for Apple and Android devices from Matamoros Mexico seventh time that Matamoros Little League represents the Mexico region here at the Little League World Series and for the second time in the last 3 years so they know the well pack Joshua dur it's been a big part of the bottom of the lineup for Venezuela here he L off their sixth inning yesterday against Aruba with a [Applause] single 02 pitch on the way Line Drive Right Center Field a base hit for Joshua dur first two on for Venezuela [Applause] the second strike was a curveball right over the top okay I've seen it I know which one is over the middle he tried to bring it again boom I go to right field with it I let it travel I'm telling you the Venezuelan hitters there's a an advanced approach with these guys they recognize off speed and know how to let it travel now Jonathan Landa pops up a bun pit pitch recognition when did it kind of Take Shape for you not not till 14 15 and that's why it impresses me with a lot of these young kids because for me I was one of those hitters that was always out in front right if I was seeing off speed I wasn't really picking it up and I think that's why I'm so impressed by their ability to stay in their legs stay balanced on a dirt ball they move two into scoring position he back on the back side with a good amount of [Applause] weight it's just something that often times you may not learn quite until you start seeing more off speed at a later age and with more off speed puts yotus on the catcher Liss Ortiz Mexico brings its infield in nobody out second inning 1-1 ooh just missed two and one in four years how many times do you think you've heard me say that it's a different Strike Zone than what all of you watching so used to Major League Baseball typically [Applause] see and with the infield in here 3-1 pitch I'm I'm trying to lift something a little bit I'm not trying to go deep I'm trying to see if I can get something to the out play umpire summoning the pitch and this is smacked to Center Hernandez goes back and it's over his head michia and Duron score and Jonathan L drives 3-1 to where you can drive it towards the Outfield the last thing you want to do is roll something over he gets this fastball and he lets it eat Mike drives it right where it came from you got a little wind blowing out there too so you use that and the base running to me right there is really Elite because you get Duran that held up and made and now Baker SATA and how struck out in both his at bats and today he got dropped in the lineup and then to respond in that moment with Baker SATA bunts popped up and hung on to by Sergio Gonzalez colliding Santiago satella has been in all kinds of collisions the last two games for a bun does a nice job of charging there it's one of those ones where maybe you could have had a little bit of communication there just cuz you don't to the top Luis YZ one out one on this one Cars away Landa to Third and here is the sleeptalking Luis YZ for Williamsport and when do we get our gear talked to Luis yesterday and he said he is eyes wide open right now infield in the 1 YZ hammers it right center and caught tagging from third Jonathan land the scores on a sack fly into the wind to make it walking or talking in his sleep I'm sorry got to love it give me the elbow guard give me the thr hat glove especially when you're giv New Gear you're always trying to find your equipment where is it someone frankster were told he was sitting on his [Applause] hat three to Jesus Diaz is a strike I don't it's easy to get lost right stuff put your name on your stuff your number on your stuff putting my name and number all my stuff when you were a little all you got you know some some message to myself often like as pitchers if you piled up a bunch of strikeouts you would put how many KS you had and like right K and even backwards KS if they were backwards in your hat that yes those are usually for people that don't get a lot of KS or what are you trying to say I saying when you get a lot when you do a lot of things you don't have to write it all down cuz you can't keep track oh I was keeping track of every last one I had all six of them that doesn't surprise me Janson fredes skyw Big League popup into the wind nicely done Sergio Gonzalez can we make sure Luis YZ has a hat up 4 four in the bottom of the six kissing benav Jersey his father Ricardo the team's honorary grandfather has made the trip here to Williamsport he is mourning his son but he is celebrating this team he told me that when his son passed away he never thought he'd Cry tears of joy again but he said they were flowing last night he sure that his son was watching along with a huge smile ues Ortiz who hit the game-winning home run was very close with Ricky Benavides he told me when he was up at the plate with two strikes he asked Ricky to help him and he remembered some key advice that Ricky had given him keep your arms up and stay back boy I'd say that advice work as 's put it out of the park and put Mexico into the next round just beautiful subastian and a swing that everyone in Matamoros and so many in Mexico will remember and there's so many stories that we get to hear thank you Sebastian for breaking that down too Bas hit to start the bottom of the second from Francisco agilar for Mexico yeah asked Jorge via franka about it the manager for Mexico before the game and he said yeah we know amongst this group these kids have been together for six years so for half their young lives they've been playing together and they'd been coached by the late Ricky Benavides it was so great last night to hear from the father [Music] from Ricky's father and and just hear what he had to say and how what he just said to Sebastian that he didn't think he would have tears of joy again Luis YZ with a strike out and Diego Gonzalez go the so-called Grandpa of this team they've latched onto the [Applause] journey this is to the back stop at 78 to Dominic baltis and it allows of any of the players but they were so inspired by what happened yesterday they felt compelled to reach out to the guy they know coaching ried around this team from Mexico no didn't go [Applause] no swing two and two onal dtis hoping to have some good deep W bats maybe be able to knock him out of the game as soon as possible be a pitch [Applause] count this is pulled to right and it drops for Dominic balderes Francisco agilar to the plate and Mexico's on the [Applause] board a great at bat from baletas really doing a good job fought off a couple pitches early in the at bat it's his first hit here in Williamsport at the L League World Series so you know he's feeling good he gets to a fast ball up at the zone placees that first run for Mexico just a nice compact swing and he's like let's go fellas bomb him well done by Dominic bades Ricardo kassos backside base hit simple swing against 75 exactly what you T as it it was Ricardo's first [Applause] [Applause] swing that 35 pitches said be aware of the runners and he's keeping them in the game and that makes sense nobody's playing on Friday so you can go until the two headers this inning have gone first pitch swinging Isaac Garza does as well but he wants it f hasn't really been hit like this very often right guys if he can be as efficient as possible gives his team a huge Advantage more to the first inning when Mexico left him loaded bottom of their lineup o throwing strikes you see him break off that slider right there so two down and now Carlos Salazar got a bid from Mexico he squares favorite athlete that's a different story Cristiano Ronaldo is Carlos big soccer player as [Applause] well on the ground towards second and Simone viia ends the inning Mexico's on the board but through two against lisz Texas got to win against Nevada earlier today so Tex and we continue to cut down the field Mike Monaco xabier scrub Sebastian Salazar with you he had an RBI single to right his first time in the three-run first inning followed by three today against Taiwan looks really good just like last year pulled down the line deep and it one hops off the wall willan Mora's got two hits already power bats in this whole tournament see him eyes on the baseball head down he just missed hitting this thing out I think he got a little bit jammed on it but Samuel kadel out of BL you got it popped foul to [Applause] [Applause] Sun young age is a three-year-old stuck with him has wanted to make this journey back that 2015 team coached here in 2006 as well Full Count payoff little n satell gloves and waits on Gonzalez to get to the bag with Marta moving up to third good use out of the Rosen PES the strutting around pitcher from was really looking forward to seeing hober bias and the tiger pulled foul Jose is a songwriter play we might have to see what he's cooking up you write a song and let you sing it I'll be down with that we'll put sebbi on percussion wouldn't want to bring the operation [Music] down center field Raul Hernandez makes the catch and then dropped it they call it an out sack fly in the end for Jose Petes run first inning a catch or at least talk about it it looked like to me he was trying to throw the balls coming out of the [Applause] transfer we have it no catch is not challengeable anyway as we learned the other day so now Diego Bea but an RBI single pitch tomorrow willan 02 on the ground to Second nice sliding stab from herard cisos Meo from the bottom of the third but they're down by six two and0 do they got some muscle left in them there's a strike from Luis yepez the key to his heart a man of the specs as well how's your eyesight it's good it's good they feel the bunt and Jonathan Lera got it over in time to the Cory seagar that way he I think is like 20 12 a half or something that doesn't surprise fast he's got a fast ball up to 77 himself facing to them Guerrero getting the rally started was spectacular he's eligible to pitch tomorrow by the way so if he and ulsi Ortiz have any magic left in them they come back and win this game he could throw Antonio Guerrero tomorrow against [Applause] Japan he's got the one batting glove look too in the Bo fouled back good battle here between these two studs that was to that slider fast ball this might be the last batter he faces swinging a Miss he did a good job this his coaches were telling us rul Hernandez kid whose game you really like like he has some juice in there very quick to the baseball he can handle the kind like one of those pests you know that from a from a hitting who are those pesky I guess now bench coach for the St Louis Cardinals John Jay would fight and put together something good I don't know that's anything to do with Berto Clemente we know it's it's going to be good it's real good next [Music] [Applause] you got to wax the cardboard otherwise you ain't moving up on that Hill they've been at it for a week at this point pulled the left and smoked by Abraham Lucena it goes past Isaac Garza and Abraham Luca digs to Second his second hit of the ball game and that was clipped sure that catch right there hit so hard kind of just sticks right in that fence right and a big hit Monday against Japan all right so we need cardboard we need wax let's go se's body structure he probably moves so quick on it check swing to Luis Longoria be yeah what happened to the funnel cake on the ground is short Guerrero backhand in the hole he's going to go to third longor applies the tag luc's out number two dictate this if the ball's hit and you see the short stop fielded in front of you before getting to third like that just pretty much tells you hey I don't so two down man at first Joshua dur so I think it's called f on you yeah how do you feel about so well nourished up here we have been blessed up here to say french fries here really good they're among the saltiest I've ever had it's no coincidence I think that the the parents and the teams that have provided us food on the international broadcast team here at ESPN it's a strike out to end the inning well said sebie our thanks to all the parents out there in these talking to my beautiful wife key last night and after she saw the home run from o soccer I don't think it would be that bad a look what do you boys think I think you do it I think it's time for him to go blonde he should have watching this game right now salud Milagros and uh I know she would not want me to put that in my hair Juan already playing Saturday Japan's playing tomorrow you already have an arrangement with Mexico if Venezuela moves on you got three teams you got to cut deals with here buddy relax it's my hair whose hair you giving away here you got toe next thing you know someone's got the Clippers on me like brainstorm while we're going down the hill yeah he should have something for every I'd give you a little part too a little hard part yeah I don't know if I can pull that off you did bring some more Swagger this year though I noticed a couple of Jays that you brought he was wearing sketch you have coached me up that's outside on Facebook you can find it on X Instagram YouTube via strikeout now two walks in Santiago soell takes a [Applause] strike opposite field line drive the left Center and it'll get to the wall Ortiz scores Loria stops IT third and Mexico inches [Applause] closer nice job of satella being aggressive early on remember we talked about those Mound visits and then being aggressive right after cuz you know the priority is to bring a strike in right after that just an amazing swing going to the opposite field and it was hit so hard it was able to cut the G between the fielders there you get yourself on second base in an RBI Venezuela will make another pitching change four batters for Baker ziga top three options all unavailable the rest of the way Mexico's on the move against Diego Gonzalez first pitch swinging Mexico's been aggressive is for Luis YZ and they decided that they trusted pitching staff that's the question for Venezuela and for Mexico you have to remember them back up so there was a choice for Venezuela to make 53 pitch that they could preserve him but now Diego [Applause] gon white bonaco Xavier scrub Sebastian salad jansson freighted this is onew Jesus Diaz jansson fredes is onew outside the good Jesus with two strikes if the zone is fouled away good cut from D he had a home run against Tiana this payoff pitch fouled away good cut from Diego he had a home run against Tiana this year they won the game for this team from model knock here 3-2 strike three called Jesus Diaz caps the K summoned to pitch for the first time on a Mexico who had a great comeback yesterday for those of you watching this game it'll in the second one in the third nothing doing last and L a on to start the fifth pretty productive offense from Cesar vianka you talked about the prod they're going to get up on the plate and they're going to challenge the opposing pitcher Baker zaga loves his french fries then dodged the tag of Aruba pitcher he that earlier and his manager who checks on him here Domingo kadell off the H oh especially when you're not expecting [Music] it the has been a fun guy to watch like that that elusiveness on that that's going to hurt good to see Baker zazal right takes [Music] [Applause] inside Saga squares inside [Music] 3-1 struck well center field rul Hernandez is there for the first out with his Godfather watching to the back stop man in scoring position right a guy that has really set the tone for his team for a ground ball Double Play Jesus Diaz first pitch swinging popped up in infield fly two down Guerrero's kind of tilted his head to the side he's smiling about it like get off on that here all right here's Jon fredes two out to on aai and then a second time he popped the first a big lead a deep breath for Santiago soell ooh in on the hand that one cuz you don't get many of those swings spectacled right-hander his 1- one fouled back Fred his knows he just missed that one too one two Mexico wants the [Applause] win 22 no chase it's been impressive I think he's got a good eye I think he kind of understands from an approach standpoint what he's looking for hitter you you talk about having your specific Zone that means maybe 32 left fields and caught and Venezuela leaves two great job be fun to try though yeah they still haven't let why have they for that and be ready to come back next year and could you handle that what do you you've seen me in the fitness center what do you think I'm lifting for nearly a great run and catch by Jose Pettis you were looking through the eyes of the Jim and there yeah but you have to have some sort of muscular strength you put around 10 in the weight room isn't doing a whole lot popped up again by Dominic baladis and Jose Petes makes thanks to everyone on our crew producer Scott Guston Jacob Garza joh Robert leading the charge Pam [Music] Shak very quickly how just John cameras Steve Daniel Lance Savannah Jerry Mark Willi and Jake out there on the jib the V3 gang Terrence Patrick and Tad in the truck Mark Bryan Brian as well Phil and Nate helping out and the whole gang Luis YZ throws out Ricardo make sure we have everything we need Griff Keith holding it down Pall [Applause] [Music] andall space is empty can't be standing on the plate even if we want Diaz to get lined up set up as [Applause] well we've seen it come into question more this year than I think any other year where guys are standing in the batter's box here's a butt from Gars at a third and Jose pz ends the inning against the sliding G welcome to William sport Willian Mora against Santiago satell City Field after the game on the ground a third and that took a hop up at that's a brutal hop that's the only thing about playing can do about [Music] it kind of ducked so it wasn't any worse right Samuel kisel bunts off the mound satell not in time they're at the corners for Venezuela looking to add on here in the sixth it was a beautiful bun he deadened it perfectly and pretty perfectly done by Samuel kadell who was a little bit slow to get up grimacing at his left hand there maybe that finger in particular the vibration a little bit or maybe it caught a little bit of the finger now the umpires will come together and the umpires will head over toward the video review area foot out of the box or wondering if it hit him I don't know I'm thinking they're looking at maybe foot out of the box but I don't think that was the case did it hit him no doesn't come close to hitting him and then so the only other question would be so there's two on there's nobody out see the infield in for Mexico and Venezuela is threatening to add on looking for the putaway punch right here Jose pz big fan of Bonito Bad Bunny [Music] check swing roller foul in 75 pitches for Santiago [Applause] satella ball rder takes off from first samel kll second now two in scoring [Applause] position Santiago soell has kept this game in Striking Distance he had pitched Friday against Venezuela as well facing them for his second time here he went an inning in a third of that four inning game on Friday only gave up one hit worked around some walks just gave up one run it's been a similar outing in this one as Mexico clings to Hope with the jersey of their fallen coach who passed away so tragically late last year in November [Applause] two and two nice job of Ortiz back there keeping that in front obviously can't let any more balls go by the runner on third can't let this lead get any more extended he's got to continue to work hard [Applause] just misses and a full count the Umpire encouraging Santiago satell to pitch Hot Shot snare by C netos who threw home and the runners held so now cuz it was a hot shot one hop right at him only thing you got to do is just check the runner and those are some of the things that you're saying to yourself all been kind of in that same ballpark this one carams away Willian Mora scores and the lead is five big moments yeah and I'll say this that's the thing is they are trying to take a step back and a new piter [Applause] new Arm coming on for Mex it is 1 and0 on Diego Bara with two on the mid AB pitching change by at the final five outs with a couple KS and then in the Venezuela meeting the first time on Friday he was the starter faced three batters and they made a pitching change ball poor pitch walk and they're loaded and Venezuela is trying to punch Abraham Lucena gets backed up as he's had a two hit night single in the first loaded Dominic baltis deals a 1 oh fouled away the Umpire beckoning balus to pitch and he does with a 1-1 fouled back I've been ready though good breaking [Applause] ball first pitch on the way Vos Venezuela did reach the international semifinals [Applause] now the one the 01 rather behind beo Runner so Venezuela is starting to taste it good breaking consistently be there you can throw strikes it's just a matter of making sure that he's as consistent I think the home play umpire might say something to the coaches here trying to encourage the pace of game here cut in a miss this one to the back stop Jose pz scores and it's [Applause] [Music] [Applause] 10-3 orange is a Gatorade flavor not my favorite but I feel like it is underrated it's not bad hey by the over there a second base he been really fun to watch offensively Aruba was doing a good job of just putting the ball in play so it felt like they really needed
