Mexico Edges U-23 Men\u2019s Team, 1-0<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

LA PAMPA, Argentina (Box Score<\/a>) \u2013 <\/strong>It was another pitching standoff for the U.S. U-23 Men\u2019s National Team in the second game of the Pan American Championship, but the Eagles were edged by Mexico, 1-0. Team USA is 1-1 in tournament play, finishing the game with just one hit.

GAME LEADERS
<\/strong>Marco Diaz matched zeros for most of the game, allowing only two hits and one earned run over seven innings with 11 strikeouts. He had 82 total pitches with 57 strikes.

Outfielder Brennan DuCharme recorded USA\u2019s lone hit, a triple in the bottom of the seventh to challenge Mexico.

GAME BREAKDOWN
<\/strong>For the second game in a row, it was a pure defensive battle between USA and Mexico with Mexico only earning two hits in the game along with the Eagles\u2019 one.

Mexico would go on to score its winning run in the top of the fifth inning on a single to center field, taking the lead that would secure them the victory.  

Enter the seventh inning, Brennan DuCharme would step up to bat. Sitting at the plate with two strikes and a ball, DuCharme rocketed a line drive to right field for a triple, putting the Eagles\u2019 in scoring position.

Unfortunately for Team USA, the lineup couldn\u2019t find a way to push him across, ultimately falling to Mexico, 1-0.
