MIAMI – Venezuela did not return to its hotel until after 2 a.m. on Sunday morning after its late-night victory over Japan at the World Baseball Classic. Rather than rest, however, the team resolved to get in some work later that day.
The preparation paid off in a big way in one of the biggest games in the nation’s history.
Venezuela scored three runs with two outs in the top of the seventh to rally past Italy and into its first WBC final with a 4-2 victory at loanDepot Park in Miami on Monday night.
