The bases were loaded and it was the top of the 10th inning with Israel up at bat in the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, South Korea.

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred was watching closely as Scott Burcham stepped up to the plate and smacked a ground ball down the middle of the field.

With two outs already and runners on first and third, Israel scored, beating Korea 2-1 in the opening game of the World Baseball Classic.
