Great Britain have earned a historic first win at the World Baseball Classic after beating Colombia on Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n

But they regrouped to come from behind at Chase Field and clinch what could be a significant 7-5 win over Colombia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finishing fourth out of the five teams in Pool C would clinch automatic qualification for the next WBC in 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n

After going ahead against the USA and Canada, the debutants trailed 3-0 against Colombia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Catcher Harry Ford, 20, a Seattle Mariners prospect, sparked the British fightback in the third inning with the first of seven unanswered runs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jaden Rudd put GB 5-3 up with a two-run double in the fifth innings before Ford, one of Major League Baseball’s brightest prospects, scored a home run for the second consecutive day.<\/span><\/p>\n

That helped GB gain a 7-3 lead in the seventh inning and although Cincinnati Reds pitcher Ian Gibaut gave up two runs in the top of the ninth, they held on to secure a landmark victory.<\/span><\/p>\n

Britain face Mexico in their final pool game on Tuesday evening (02:00 GMT on Wednesday morning), with all Pool C games being played at Chase Field in Phoenix.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
