Mexico made history on Sunday, punching its first-ever Olympic ticket with a 3-2 win over the United States in the bronze-medal game of the Premier12.
The win could not have occurred without the late-game heroics of Matt Clark and Efren Navarro, who have previously competed for NPB teams.
"I still haven't processed it yet," Matt Clark said excitedly of his own game-tying solo homer in the bottom of the ninth following Mexico's 3-2 victory at Tokyo Dome. "It might be one of the biggest highlights of my career."
