Venezuela rides late rally to reach WBC final vs USA

Venezuela defeated Italy 4-2 in the World Baseball Classic semifinals in Miami, advancing to the championship game against Team USA. Maikel García delivered the go-ahead hit in the seventh inning after Italy’s pitching plan of Lorenzen followed by Nola; Luis Arraez added an RBI hit in the same frame as Venezuela’s offense finally clicked, and Jackson Chourio greeted the go-ahead run at the dugout. The win, Venezuela’s first WBC final appearance since the tournament’s inception, sets up a high-stakes final against the United States on Tuesday.

Henderson, Anthony lift USA to 2-1 win over DR, into WBC final amid late drama

Gunnar Henderson and Roman Anthony homered to back Paul Skenes as the United States edged the Dominican Republic 2-1 in a World Baseball Classic semifinal, advancing to the final against Italy or Venezuela. The DR threatened in the ninth, but a controversial final pitch—several inches below the strike zone and not reviewable because ABS isn’t used in the WBC—helped seal the win, while the US bullpen shut down the DR after Skenes’ solid start and notable defensive plays (including Judge robbing a homer). Caminero’s solo shot gave DR an early lead as the dramatic finish capped a tightly contested game.
