Nicaragua&#8217;s offense took advantage of the moment and mounted a threat with consecutive hits from <strong>Benjam\u00edn Alegr\u00eda<\/strong> and <strong>Ismael Mungu\u00eda<\/strong>, as well as a walk negotiated by Mark Vientos, loading the bases with no outs and taking an early lead.\n\nHowever, S\u00e1nchez reacted with authority. The Philadelphia Phillies&#8217; opener dominated the next three batters, retiring them all by way of the strikeout: &#8220;Omar Mendoza&#8221;, &#8220;Emanuel Trujillo&#8221;, and &#8220;Melvin Novoa&#8221;.\n\nWith that performance, S\u00e1nchez became the first pitcher in World Baseball Classic history to complete an inning with four strikeouts, a rarity that occurs when a batter reaches base after a dropped third strike.\n\nThe dramatic episode marked the beginning of an encounter full of emotions between both teams, before a large attendance of fans in Miami.\n\nDespite his historical feat, the Dominican&#8217;s outing was brief. S\u00e1nchez left the mound after working just 1.1 innings, in which he allowed two earned runs and six hits.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MIAMI. \u2013 Dominican pitcher Cristopher S\u00e1nchez made history on Friday night by recording an unusual four-strikeout inning during the game between the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua in the 2026 World Baseball Classic, played at loanDepot park in Miami.
