A crown for two princes

The semifinals of the sixth edition of the World Baseball Classic ended yesterday and the scene is ready for the final battle between the locals and the vinotinto, who closely ousted their opponents to discuss who will be the new king of baseball worldwide

In the first semifinal that took place last Sunday, the Stars and Stripes team beat the boys from the Dominican Republic by a minimum two runs to one in a game that had everything: spectacular plays, such as those of Bobby Witt Jr and Julio Rodríguez stealing a home run from the Judge; controversial plays, such as not sending Austin Wells to the rubber with the tying run in the seventh inning and the last strike of the game with a ground ball to Geraldo Perdomo. The runs in the game were all based on home runs, the only Dominican run came from the bat of the waterman Junior Caminero against the CY Young of the National League, Paul Skenes in the bottom of the second inning. The Americans, led by Mark de Rosa, responded in the fourth inning with home runs by Gunnar Henderson and the Red Sox rookie sensation, Roman Anthony, against pitches from starter Luis Severino and reliever Gregory Soto, who ultimately lost the game. In this way, the Americans become the first country to attend three consecutive finals of the World Classics

In the other semifinal, staged yesterday, the Venezuela of Salvador Pérez and company came back and overthrew the surprising Italy to settle in their first final in the history of these events, improving their performance from the second edition of these Classics, held in 2009 when they lost to Japan, ultimately winning that edition in the semifinals. The Italians came out ahead on the scoreboard thanks to the contributions of young Keider Montero, who only went one and a third innings, leaving the game 2-0 against. On the side of the country of the boot, Phillies AS Aaron Nola climbed onto the mound in a last-minute change, walking four innings to leave the scene ready for Michael Lorenzen, in the end the defeated pitcher of the clash, who came to relieve the game to the final innings and make way for the relief, but in the seventh the Venezuelans turned around and showed off contact and speed on the bases to produce the four-score package that ultimately It was the definitive one. Ángel Zerpa won the game with a luxurious relief by dominating Jakob Mersee and Vinnie Pasquantino with the bases loaded in the sixth inning so that Italy did not take off on the scoreboard and the vinotinto could react and take the lead
