UNBELIEVABLE Moment in USA-Venezuela: Trea Turner 8th Inning Grand Slam

Chicago Cubs

Oh man. This game. This game has been unbelievable. It’s not over yet, but I wanted to share this moment because it got me PUMPED.

So, Team USA was down a couple runs in the 8th inning when they loaded the bases with nobody out. Pitching change. Tension rises. Trea Turner comes to the plate. Goes down 0-2. Tension rises.

And then he did this:

I’m sorry if it makes me a nerd, but that thing made me EXPLODE with joy as I watched. Turns out I’m a big Team USA guy. What a moment. And a comeback. Now close it out.

So pumped:
