Team USA was trailing the Dominican Republic

1-0. Bottom of the third last night in Miami. Ketel Marte at the plate, Fernando Tatis Jr. aboard at first base with two outs, and we pick it up with Joe Davis, kind of mid-thought here. Juan Soto, Bobby Witt, and then Katel-Marté, who shows off right back to the base right. Tatis hits the third. From George, right there, he's gone.

George, touchdown, Tatis.

Thrilling stuff.

Ninth inning, tying, run,, scoring position we touched on last hour.

Mason Miller striking out Pernomo looking on a pitch that definitely became a talking point on social media, postgame, and on this radio station, which we'll get to in just a minute.

But credit to Dominican Republic Manager, Albert Pujols, for taking the high road afterwards. I don't want to focus in the last pitch.

Obviously, it didn't go our well, our way.

Disappointed about the way that they're getting in,

but I don't want to criticize any of that.

It wasn't meant to be for us.

So the U.S. after surviving pool play

and all the controversy and the criticism for Mark DeRosa,
