So the United States ultimately prevailed over the Dominican Republic last night in Miami,

two to one to reach the WBC championship game.

But there were electric moments on both sides in this one, including Aaron Judge at the plate,

top half of the fifth.

High drive, center field.

Rodriguez going back.

Did he get enough?

He did not because Julio still go on.

Joe Davis, all over at FS1, you hear the excitement in the crowd there.

Julio Rodriguez robbing judge of a potential home run or extra base hit at minimum.

Kept it at 2-1, and the DR did have their chances.

Multiple base runners in the 4th and 5th.

Then again, in the 7th and the 9th, couldn't push any of them across. Well, just the one base runner in the ninth, but it was the potential tying run. As Mason Miller struck out, Geraldo Prudomo looking to end the game, a three-two pitch that certainly looked to be low and well out of the strike zone, but the U.S. got the call and the win, so they await the winner of tonight's semi-final matchup between Italy and Venezuela after Italy knocked off Puerto Rico Saturday and Venezuela came from behind to defeat the defending champ in Japan. So I want to go back to the Aaron Judge post-game quote comparing the WBC to the World Series. So we played the audio in Hour 1, and I had said at the time not the best quality.

Interesting, you told me you heard it clear on FM. I got it sounded actually pretty good on the car. Because Evan Roberts just told me listening on the Odyssey app, he couldn't make out a damn word. Tom, because listening, driving in, he said they were looking for the audio and he kept reading the quote. right and then as right before i got to the holland

tunnel he's like we got it yes and he's like it might not be too clear i'm like that's actually

pretty good all right so just a quick sampling to remind everybody of uh trying to make out the words

from judge here i was this crowd here they probably had when playing his mexico it's bigger

and better than the world.

Okay, so you got that.

All right, so short clip, fine.

So Cap out in the newsroom takes the full clip that I ran in hour number one, puts it through AI for background noise reduction.

Wow.
