Colombia lost 3-2 against the United States this Wednesday and closed its participation in the World Baseball Classic, at Chase Field in Phoenix (Arizona, USA).
In a game with a lot of strategy and with a very good job from the pitching staff of both teams, the United States found the advantage in the third inning with a single by Mike Trout, to send Mookie Bets to the plate.
Colombia responded in the same episode with a sacrifice fly from Giovanni Urshela, for Óscar Mercado to score, and then a brace from Jorge Alfaro allowed his team to take the lead.
Mike Trout’s liner in the fifth gave the United States two runs to take a lead that Colombia could not reverse.
The balance of the Colombian team was one victory, against Mexico (5-4, in 10 episodes), and three defeats (7-5 with Great Britain, 5-0 with Canada and 3-2 against the United States.
