Adam Jones, Eric Hosmer Lead Team USA To Thrilling Win Vs. Venezuela
Team USA is off to quite the start in the second round of the World Baseball Classic.
After trailing for almost all of Wednesday’s second-round game against Venezuela, the Americans came through with three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to earn a thrilling 4-2 comeback win.
Center fielder Adam Jones got things started when he tied things with a solo home run to lead off the inning.
