This time he got a strike and he pounded it.

His second home run.

It's eight to six.

Pete Crow Armstrong putting Team USA on his back.

Pete Crow Armstrong with two home runs last night for Team USA.

A three-run homer in the seventh and a solo shot in the ninth.

And you were saying, Lawrence, that he might have saved Team USA, depending on how this goes.

They needed to put some runs on the board.

And Pete was like, I'm willing to hit off of these guys in the Italy bullpen.

By the way, Michael Lorenzen is jacked.

He's a big man.

He's a big strong man.

He went four and two thirds of shutout baseball for team Italy.

But Pete Crowe Armstrong in the nine hole for Team USA, just, you know, happy to be

there and doing his thing, had a home run on a five pitch at bat, and where they weren't

throwing him strikes, and he waited, and then in ninth, first pitch strike and pounced on it for

his second home run.

Earlier in the game, he had a six pitch at bat that ended with a deep fly to center

where he looked good and comfortable as well.

We know exactly what Pete Crow Armstrong's challenges are.

It is my theory, Lawrence Holmes, that letting him be nice and low in the lineup is a nice

fit for the edge and energy of Pete Crow Armstrong.
