Waters Homers in Team USA Win

By Jordan Wolf
November 4, 2019

A power surge carried Team USA to victory on Saturday.

A power surge carried Team USA to victory on Saturday.

The fireworks began early as Braves No. 2 prospectDrew Waters  (Danville 2017) deposited the first pitch he saw from right-hander Rob Cordemans in the bottom of the first inning over the fence in right field.
The win moved Team USA one game closer to qualifying for a spot in the 2020 Olympics. If the U.S. finishes the tournament as the highest ranking Americas region club, it will earn a spot in next summer's Tokyo Games. If Team USA finishes lower than first, it will have to wait for the Americas Qualifier in March in Arizona or in the final intercontinental qualifying opportunity in Taiwan soon after.
