Venezuela pulled off a dramatic comeback in the Little League World Series, rallying from a four-run deficit to steal a win from Mexico. Down to their final three outs in the bottom of the fifth, Venezuela got a spark from a hit-by-pitch, then a bunt that forced a throwing error. Their bench and coaches fired up, especially number five, who was leading the charge with energy. A few key defensive plays from Mexico slowed the rally temporarily, but another hit-by-pitch and a squibber that squeaked past the right side of the infield brought in the tying and go-ahead runs. The crowd went wild as Venezuela slid into the lead.
With three outs to close it, Venezuela’s pitcher took over. He struck out the first batter in three pitches, showing confidence with a quick walk around the mound. The second batter grounded out to short without much trouble. For the final out, the pitcher got ahead on strikes and told the crowd to stand up before freezing the hitter with a perfect pitch. Game over. Venezuela completed the comeback win with energy, grit, and clutch hitting when it mattered most.
