7 photos of Trea Turner's go-ahead grand slam in the World Baseball Classic that will give you chills
Can't stop staring at these photos
Trea Turner made World Baseball Classic history on Saturday night. His 8th inning grand slam to put the United States up 9-7 in a quarterfinal elimination game against Venezuela was the first go-ahead grand slam in the 6th inning or later ever in the tournament.
It was a bonkers moment in a tournament that’s exceeded every expectation and fully proves why the WBC deserves to be a staple of the sports calendar.
Team USA went on to win the game and advanced to face Cuba in Miami on Sunday, March 19 in a semifinal. Winner advances to the championship game.
But before the two teams get underway on Sunday, it’s worth appreciating just how spectacular Turner’s slam really was. These pictures help do it justice.
