USA Baseball vs. South Korea Dwell Rating, Updates, Highlights from the 2021 Olympic Semifinals

Another win for a chance for gold.

The USA baseball team is interestingly a bit of a stranger to Olympic gold medals. The team took their first – and only – gold medal win at the 2000 Olympics, but they may be able to land a second on Thursday morning if all goes well.

The USA face South Korea in a rematch from the group game, a game the USA won 4-2. Now, after losing to Japan earlier this week, Team USA is one win away from a gold medal game against Japan on Saturday – on the other hand, it’s just one loss away from a bronze medal game against the Dominican Republic Friday night.

South Korea suffered a heavy defeat against Japan on Wednesday morning: the game, which ended in eighth place, went to Japan after rallies three times. The win earned Japan the gold medal game and could turn into a very useful home advantage as the host nation.

Sporting News will provide live updates, highlights and more from the US vs. Korea Republic semi-final game below.

No pressure, boy.
