United States has best game of WBC, thanks to Henderson, Anthony, beating Dominican Republic in Semis. For the United States to beat the Dominican Republic in the semifinals of the WBC, they needed to be absolutely perfect. Thankfully, they did just that. The United States gave up a home run in the bottom of the 2^nd inning to make it 1-0 Dominican Republic, so the United States had to bear down to get back in the game. Examples of this occurred in the bottom of the 3^rd inning as Aaron Judge had to throw out Fernando Tatis Jr of the Dominican Republic, who is a fast runner, at third base to end the inning. In the top of the 4^th inning, US manager, Mark DeRosa’s move to put Gunnar Henderson in the lineup thanks to his recent success against the Dominican Republic’s pitcher Luis Serverino paid off as Henderson hit a homerun to make it 1-1.
