00:00The two biggest stars in the
00:04world are going to lead their
00:05teams on the field Mike Trout
00:07and Team USA Shohei Otani and
00:10Team Japan what a showcase for
00:13the game we have here tonight
00:14with a title on the line welcome
00:18to the World Baseball Classic
00:19from Lone Depot Park in Miami
00:21Florida and our championship
00:23game it's the United States
00:25against Japan.
00:26Oh I've been waiting for this
00:28play ball.
00:29So here we go and Japan's
00:31manager very confident in this
00:33young man.
00:34Shota Imanaga four innings on two
00:36games three hits one on run.
00:38Look this is a guy who's going to
00:40feature a pretty good fastball
00:42good writing foreseeing fastball
00:43but his biggest pitch is that
00:45split.
00:45Can he throw it enough times to
00:47get the hitters off the fastball.
00:49One of the many treasures on this
00:51night is Mike Trout in a
00:53championship game.
00:54That one is hit to shallow
00:56right field.
00:57Kondo has to race in and it's
00:58going to fall base hit.
01:00Trout's going to try for second
01:01the throw the slide he's safe.
01:03You want to talk about five tool
01:05player America's captain.
01:07Oh my goodness pressure at all
01:09times.
01:10Nobody destroyed left handers like
01:12Paul Goldschmidt did last year.
01:14Got it.
01:14That right there was a good split.
01:17That's a guy that's understanding.
01:19Hey, I'm going to rush him up and
01:21in and I'm going to slow him down
01:22with the split change right there.
01:24Imanaga, he's 29 years old.
01:26He's been around a while, not out of
01:27the woods yet.
01:28Nolan Aranato first pitch swing and a
01:29ground ball.
01:30The first pick by Okamoto.
01:32He'll take it to the bag himself for
01:33the put out and the United States is
01:35retired.
01:36Merrill Kelly, what an opportunity for
01:38the veteran right hander.
01:39The once in a lifetime Shohei Ohtani
01:42who's continued to do the unthinkable
01:44in this classic.
01:45Ohtani takes ball four.
01:48It's close, but a two out walk.
01:51Two gone in this first inning.
01:52Inning kept alive for Masataki Yoshida.
01:55He takes a straight three call, dropped by
01:57Real Muto and he'll apply the tag.
01:59And that's a good start for Merrill
02:01Kelly.
02:01Here we go.
02:02Trey Turner has been awesome.
02:04The last two games had the home run
02:06and the team USA will never forget in
02:08the come from behind win against
02:10Venezuela and then two home runs
02:11against Cuba in the semis.
02:13Turner hits another one down the
02:15left field line.
02:16He's done it again.
02:17It's gone.
02:19America's shortstop, Trey Turner.
02:22We talked about the wave.
02:24He's riding a big wave.
02:27Trying to throw that cheese inside.
02:29Trey Turner was absolutely ready for it.
02:32Incredible.
02:32What a week for Trey Turner.
02:35You think he's feeling it?
02:36Two on, two out.
02:37Mookie Betts.
02:38Swings at that pitch and hits a fly ball
02:40to left field.
02:41Yoshida will make the catch short of the warning track.
02:45And Mookie might have just missed one.
02:47Five, six, and seven comes up for Japan
02:49with Munitaka Murakami, last night's hero,
02:51to lead off.
02:53Now a first pitch swing.
02:54Murakami crushes one into the second deck.
02:58Tie game.
03:00David takes one swing.
03:02That happened last night.
03:03The drive to left center to win it.
03:05Season of the fastball tonight.
03:07Tie ball game.
03:08Murakami is no surprise to big games and big swings.
03:10The two-time MVP has come up huge for Japan.
03:14You want to answer back?
03:16There it is right there.
03:17And Japan has the bases loaded to the top of the order.
03:20These next five hitters, not only are they the best hitters Japan has,
03:23but they are all left handed.
03:25And he's got the lefty loop ready to go.
03:27And Nupar, last year in 2022, he hit left handers better than right handers
03:32at a 273 mark.
03:33Nupar breaks his back, slow roller, to first base.
03:36Goldschmidt's only plays to first, and Luke just got there to get the out.
03:40On the play, Okamoto comes in to score, so Japan takes its first lead 2-1.
03:45That's the downside on Luke, is he gets soft contact in a situation
03:49when you need double plays.
03:51Now a chance for more with Kinsuke Kondo.
03:54The 1-2, that one has popped up into center field.
03:59Mike Trout is there for out number three.
04:03And all things considered, Aaron Luke did a really good job.
04:07Back-to-back, two-out walks, and the guy who has dominated play here in Miami
04:12is coming to the plate, not this time.
04:14The splitter strikes him out, so Togo walks too, but gets through Turner.
04:19So the new pitcher, Kyle Freeland, immediately has to face Ohtani.
04:23Here's the 3-2 pitch, Ohtani takes strike three call.
04:27That was a good slider right there on Freeland, going to work quickly on Shohei Ohtani.
04:32So after Freeland struck out Ohtani, he gives up the 4-pitch walk
04:36with Murataka Murakami coming to the plate.
04:39And the first pitch swing could be two.
04:41Anderson to second one, Turner to first.
04:44Got him, double play, nicely turned by Team USA.
04:48And their defense.
04:49Kyle Freeland, third pitcher for Team USA.
04:52Faces Kazuma Okamoto to open the fourth.
04:55Going to swing and a high fly ball.
04:57Left center field, a deep, Mullins at the wall, it's gone!
05:01Okamoto!
05:02Oh, no surprise.
05:04Past five seasons, 30-plus home runs.
05:07We know the power is there in Okamoto.
05:10164 home runs in that span.
05:13He got a good pitch to hit right there.
05:16Boy, oh boy, he did not miss it.
05:19Top of the order for the United States.
05:21Spats is 0 for 2 today.
05:23On the fastball, big chopper to third.
05:26Going to be a tough play.
05:27The throw low, and got him at first!
05:30I don't know.
05:31The intentional bounce, and perfect to first base.
05:35Team USA is going to challenge.
05:37It was bang, bang.
05:38Boy, Mookie really smelled that hit.
05:40Wow.
05:41Oh yeah.
05:42I think he's safe.
05:43I think he's safe.
05:44Just barely.
05:45So they overturn the call with replay, and Mookie Betts.
05:48Just terrific hustle and speed.
05:50There is Kyle Schwarber, the National League home run champion.
05:53Two on, two out.
05:54He represents the go-ahead run in the WBC Championship.
05:57Takahashi.
05:58Schwarber swings 3-0, and it's a fly ball center field.
06:02In the ballpark.
06:03Duke Bar for round number three.
06:05He took a chance there, and just missed it.
06:08So that's a one-out walk with Otani coming up.
06:11And Japan's got a lot of great hitters.
06:13We've seen him in this tournament.
06:15But you just have a hard time thinking you're going to let this guy beat you
06:19in a championship game.
06:21Otani got jammed, hits the ground ball.
06:24Anderson there to make the play and throw out Otani.
06:27And you've got to give a lot of credit to Freeland right there
06:29with JT Realmuto wanting the slider.
06:32And Freeland saying, no, I trust my fastball.
06:34I trust my ride, my sink on it.
06:36And I'm going to jam Shohei right here to hopefully get a double play.
06:39He jammed him.
06:40Now he's got to get through Yoshida.
06:43Here's the 2-2.
06:44Yoshida topper right back to the mound.
06:47Here's how Freeland has it, and he throws him out.
06:50Mean inning.
06:51Perfection for Mr. Freeland.
06:53So with two outs and nobody on, Jason Adam has walked.
06:57The base is loaded.
06:59And Team USA's bullpen this whole time has been quiet.
07:02This game has got to stay 3-1 if USA is going to have a chance.
07:06Lars Newtbar, 0-3 but with a run batted in.
07:09Bases loaded, two down.
07:11Newtbar, fly ball, right field.
07:13Mookie Betts is there.
07:15It was not easy.
07:18But somehow, someway, Jason Adam got through it.
07:22Japan leaves.
07:23The base is loaded.
07:24So the leadoff walk from Jeff McNeil.
07:26And it's Mookie Betts who had an infield single in the fifth.
07:29Betts, line drive.
07:30He's hit.
07:31Just hit it too hard.
07:32Past the reach of Genda.
07:34And Team USA has two on.
07:37Nobody out with Mike Trout coming up.
07:39These are the innings where you win them and lose them.
07:42And you have the best hitter in the planet.
07:44Mike Trout.
07:45Trout.
07:46Line drive, right field.
07:48Kondo leads forward to make the catch.
07:51That one almost fooled him.
07:52Maybe the lights, maybe the spin on the ball.
07:55A huge first out to get through Trout.
07:58Paul Goldschmidt comes up here.
08:00He's 0-3.
08:01Two on.
08:02Now one out.
08:03It is on the ground.
08:04It's short.
08:05Genda flips the second one.
08:06Throw the first.
08:07Got him.
08:08Double play.
08:09Ota.
08:10Two on.
08:11Nobody out.
08:12And he gets through Trout and Goldschmidt.
08:15There's just truly no comparison.
08:18There's no player like Shohei Ohtani in the game.
08:23Ohtani hits it hard.
08:24And a diving stab.
08:25From his knees.
08:26The throw not in time.
08:28Ohtani.
08:29Big, strong, and he's too fast.
08:34They're gonna challenge.
08:35That's as close as it gets.
08:37That's.
08:38That's just too close.
08:39That is as close as it could possibly be.
08:41I think he was safe.
08:43I think he's safe too.
08:44Even without the microphone.
08:46The call.
08:47Safe.
08:48The play stands.
08:49And now one out base runner for Masataka Yoshida.
08:52That one is hit on the ground to Arnana.
08:54He'll flip to Turner.
08:55The throw to first in plenty of time double play.
08:58So the hit for Ohtani.
08:59But Bendar gets the ground ball.
09:01We'll go to the eighth.
09:02Well they have pieced it together to get it to this point.
09:05Where finally the familiar name comes in.
09:07Yu Darvish for the eighth inning.
09:09Now Schwerber who comes up now.
09:11He doesn't have as many at bats against Darvish.
09:13But those that he's had.
09:14Great success.
09:15Schwerber.
09:16Uh oh.
09:17Drives it to deep right field.
09:18It is gone into the second deck.
09:21It's a one run game.
09:22What an at bat.
09:23And the longer the at bat.
09:24The more hope for Team USA.
09:25Schwerber cuts the lead.
09:26What a swing.
09:27What an at bat.
09:28He got the splitter.
09:29He was set up for the splitter.
09:30The splitter was up.
09:31And Schwerber did not miss it.
09:32What an at bat.
09:33What a swing.
09:34What a change of possibly momentum.
09:35We'll make the same point we did in the sixth.
09:36Now you're a base hit away from an enormous extra run.
09:51Genda on the ground to third.
09:53Arnana.
09:54Pass it.
09:55Throws to first.
09:56And just in time to get him.
09:57And that was very close.
09:59So here we go.
10:00The dream scenario.
10:02The dream matchup.
10:03And within that dream matchup.
10:04The dream scenario.
10:06Shohei Ohtani on for the ninth inning.
10:089-1 and 2 coming up for the United States in a one run game.
10:11That's Jeff McNeil.
10:12Mookie Betts.
10:13And Mike Trout.
10:14Another 3-2 pitch from Ohtani.
10:17McNeil takes.
10:18Ball for it.
10:19Just a little bit low.
10:20Lance has been tight.
10:21All night.
10:22And I think that was the right pitch and the right call.
10:24Mookie Betts and then Trout.
10:25One run game ninth inning.
10:26Here's the 0-1.
10:27Mookie on the ground to second.
10:28We'll see if they can turn two.
10:29That's one.
10:30That's two.
10:31It's a double play.
10:32And Japan is one out away.
10:33Well we said it's at the beginning of the start of this game.
10:34Japan will do everything right to win a ball game.
10:35And they're one out away with their leader.
10:36Their captain.
10:37Manu Imanu right here.
10:38USA's captain versus Japan's captain.
10:39First time they've ever faced each other.
10:40They've been teammates for five years.
10:41The best against the best.
10:42Ohtani to Trout.
10:43Ball one.
10:44We've waited a long time to say that.
10:46Speechless.
10:47How much to say but enjoy.
10:48Ohtani's 1-0.
10:50Going back.
