Mexico pulled off an incredible comeback victory during Tuesday’s Little League World Series elimination round, made possible by two well-timed home runs.
During the game’s sixth inning against Cuba with an out to spare, Mexico erased a 4-1 deficit when Antonio Guerrero hit a homer to tie the game and Ulises Ortíz soon followed it with a runner on base to give the team a 6-4 win.
It was an incredible display of resilience for Mexico as it tries to bring home the championship, as scoring five runs with an inning to give in the bottom of the final inning makes for thrilling heroics on the world stage.
