Venezuela was named champion of the 2026 World Baseball Classic for the first time in its history when it defeated the United States 3-2 in a close final in which pitching prevailed over batting, to the point of limiting the Yankees offensive to just three uncatchables.

In this victory achieved in the city of Miami, the capacity to react of the Venezuelan offensive, which brought one to the plate in the eighth inning, was essential to break the tie with the North Americans. In that action, Eugenio Suárez shot a long hit in center field, which brought to the plate the goal of taking the lead and giving final numbers to the match.

The ninth Vinotinto resisted the American reaction in the ninth inning with Andrés Palencia who brilliantly closed the match to give the country with the 8 stars on its flag its first international title in the most important tournament of the 'King of Sports' teams”.
