But for the whole nation, who are standing behind them like looming figures, lending their team strength through a symphony of their voices and spirit. 

So imagine the moment when the Venezuelan team, who had been desperately hoping to win against their long-time rivals, the Dominican Republic, actually won against them for the first time ever in the WBC. The game had an atmosphere humming with electric energy, as the two teams swapped strikeouts in the early innings. But Venezuela pulled ahead in the fourth inning and went on to secure a win of 5-1.

As they won, hearts soared and screams roared, the Venezuelan team converged, running towards each other at a blazing speed, patting each other on the backs and hugging it out with fervor. The apparent happiness that flooded out of them was infectious as the crowd chimed in as well. But their celebrations didn’t end there.

The whole team went out to celebrate. As is seen in Gleyber Torres’ live video, the team is having the time of their lives dancing and chanting, having unbridled fun.

Torres then panned the camera to Anthony Santander, an outfielder for the Baltimore Orioles, who dominated the floor with his exceptional dancing jig.

But it was Luis Garcia who stole the show, setting a personal World Baseball Classic record by striking out seven batters and allowing only two walks, which is phenomenal!
