World Baseball Classic: U.S. erupts late to beat Canada, advance
PHOENIX – Adam Jones doubled in the tying and go-ahead runs in the eighth inning, and the United States beat Canada 9-4 on Sunday to advance to the second round of the World Baseball Classic.
Down to their last several outs, the U.S. trailed 3-2 after seven innings. Eric Hosmer had a three-run double in the ninth.
“It is just an unbelievable feeling and when you hear the crowd chant ‘USA’ and the other crowd chanting ‘Canada,’” Hosmer said.
