Venezuela defeated the United States 3-2 in the 2026 World Baseball Classic final on March 17 in Miami, capturing its first championship in the tournament's six editions after Eugenio Suárez's ninth-inning RBI double broke a tie created by Bryce Harper's dramatic eighth-inning homer. The victory carries profound cultural significance for a nation reeling from the U.S. military capture of President Nicolás Maduro in January, with celebrations erupting from the diaspora-packed stands at loanDepot Park to public plazas in Caracas.
