The U.S. baseball team had to settle for bronze, certainly not the medal color the Americans had planned to bring home.

Taylor Teagarden hit a tiebreaking two-run double in the fifth and Jason Donald followed with a two-run homer off the left-field foul pole, lifting the United States to an 8-4 victory over Japan on Saturday.
