Venezuela won its first World Baseball Classic title on Tuesday night, taking down Team USA 3–2 in the final. What a thrilling way to end an awesome baseball tournament.
Venezuela has Eugenio Suárez partially to thank for the victory as the third baseman’s RBI double in the top of the ninth inning proved to be the difference. Venezuela led Team USA 2–0 heading into the bottom of the eighth, but Bryce Harper kept the United States’s chances alive with a two-run homer to tie the ball game.
