Venezuela cause major upset in World Baseball Classic
Venezuela have won the World Baseball Classic for the first time, rebounding from a blown eighth-inning lead to beat the powerful United States.
The South Americans achieved the boilover Tuesday night on Eugenio Suárez’s tiebreaking double in the ninth to win 3-2.
Maikel Garcia’s third-inning sacrifice fly and Wilyer Abreu’s fifth-inning homer off rookie Nolan McLean built a 2-0 lead before a roaring pro-Latin America crowd.
