USA Rallies to Beat Canada, 5-4
Team USA rallied from behind to defeat Canada in baseball, 5-4, keeping alive the hope of returning to the States with an Olympic medal. NBC Sports:
“We’ve played a lot of tight ballgames,” said Eckstein, the third base coach. “There’s no question we’ve been tested in so many ways so far this tournament. We’ve responded. I like what I’m seeing: their heart and character.” [...]
The Americans’ medal chances seemed to be in serious jeopardy when trailing 4-0 in the fourth inning Saturday. The U.S. team (2-2) must finish among the top four in the eight-team, robin-robin tournament to have a chance of reaching the medal stand.
The two teams to defeat the United States are still undefeated: Cuba (4-0) and Korea (3-0).
