00:02And it's a young player who
00:04knew Rodriguez he wants to see
00:05where he's at right now.
00:06This is a good matchup.
00:08Rodriguez hit face hit.
00:09This is the first hitter of the
00:11first game of this tournament
00:13for these two teams.
00:14Listen to this place.
00:15It's electric dead.
00:17They're into it.
00:18They'll be into it for the whole
00:19game.
00:19Rodriguez has got the power also
00:21has speed.
00:21Juan Soto is the hitter.
00:23And he drives the first pitch
00:25out to left center field.
00:26Very well ahead.
00:28And it's going to bounce off the
00:29wall Rodriguez flying around
00:31third and he's going to come in
00:33to score the first run of the
00:35game.
00:35What a start for the Dominican.
00:37It's a party.
00:38It's a party.
00:39Are we in Miami or are we in the
00:41capital de Dominicana.
00:43Juan Soto this is what he's been
00:45doing since spring training
00:47using the left center gap at all
00:48times when he's at his best.
00:50He's letting the ball travel and
00:52using the whole field.
00:53You can tell Sandy's sharp right
00:55now.
00:55Two down base is empty.
00:56That ball's hit well by Santander.
01:00Deep right field.
01:02Gone into the second deck.
01:05Uh oh.
01:06Anthony Santander no surprise to
01:08the long ball.
01:0833 home runs in 2022.
01:10Well he has just come up in the
01:12biggest of stage in his young
01:14career.
01:15Oh he was ready for the action.
01:17It's David Peralta bases loaded
01:19two down.
01:43The guy who has been the most
01:46impactful player in the game
01:48tonight is coming to the plate
01:49right now.
01:49David Peralta swims and drives
01:52out into center field and that
01:54one's going to get by the center
01:56field to Rodriguez coming to
01:58third Suarez and no relay throw
02:00will be made home.
02:02Peralta is going to stop a run
02:04has scored.
02:05Peralta will be tagged out but
02:06it's another run batted in for
02:08David Peralta and that puts
02:10Venezuela at four to one.
02:12You know the smoke is brewing.
02:13The smoke is getting a little
02:14thicker.
02:15You pop one right here all of a
02:17sudden now it gets very dicey.
02:19Mario a pop up shallow right.
02:21Not an easy play.
02:23Falling and caught.
02:25A lunging catch.
02:28Santander two down.
02:30Well he was ready for that time.
02:32He wanted the ball hit to him.
02:33Extra run over a third with two
02:35down.
02:36Yonhideos Suarez.
02:38Line drive pass a reach at
02:40Franco.
02:41In to right center field it's
02:43another run for Venezuela.
02:45running that pass.
02:46You know with these great
02:47hitters Velocity's just not
02:48going to get it done.
02:49At some point these guys are
02:50going to make an adjustment.
02:53Rujani Suarez has done just
02:54that.
02:55Simplicity on his spine is for
02:56Rujani Suarez right there.
