Team USA players stayed to the end of their 15-1 exhibition win over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday as they prepare for pool play in the World Baseball Classic.
It was a good start for Team USA, which belted 19 hits, including home runs by Alex Bregman and Roman Anthony.
He would pitch in pool play and then in the semifinals, if Team USA advanced.
Though Team USA gathered for the first time Monday, the bond DeRosa is searching for has been building for months.
Team USA will play its second and final exhibition game Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies before leaving for Houston and its opening game of the WBC against Brazil.
