2009 World Cup of Baseball Championship Game

Game tracker here

The US just snapped a 4-4 tie with six unearned runs in the top of the seventh and have a 10-4 lead on Cuba.

The Americans had nobody on and two out in the seventh but put two runners on with a walk and a double.

This would appear to be the key play of the inning. Former Beloit Snapper Trevor Plouffe sent a grounder to second, but --if I am interpreting the play-by-play correctly --the first baseman dropped the throw and was charged with an error. That allowed two runs to score and the US went on to score four more in the inning.

As I was writing this, Brad Lincoln, who had let Cuba tie the game 4-4 with two run in the bottom of the sixth, pitched a scoreless seventh. The US is batting in the top of the eighth with that six run lead.
