Japan had their backs against the wall at the World Baseball Classic, down 5-4 with only three outs to go in the semifinal against Mexico. But Shohei Ohtani was not done.
The two-way superstar sparked his team to a come-from-behind 6-5 win, capped by a two-run double by Munetaka Murakami that scored Ohtani and Ukyo Shuto.
The incredible victory sets up a WBC final between Angels teammates — and MVPs — Ohtani and Mike Trout's United States Tuesday night. Now we have to ask, will Ohtani get a chance to pitch to Trout?
All of the chaos set social media ablaze. Here are some of the best reactions.
