Mike Scioscia drove his gathering of players, most likely the keep going gathering of his long baseball vocation, out to home plate for handshakes Saturday night. 

The United States Olympic ball club, newly crushed, arranged behind him to meet Japan's gold-decoration winning group. The Americans gritted their teeth, grinned and saluted the Japanese. Then, at that point they strolled off the field at Yokohama Stadium while their rivals accentuated their triumph with a doh-age on the hill, throwing their administrator noticeable all around in festival. 

The U.S. Was the lone group to give Japan a panic in the Olympic baseball competition, the main one to mark the host nation's shield. However, for the second time in under seven days, this time for the gold award, they couldn't bring down the Japanese, dropping the last 2-0. 

"They had the right to win," Scioscia said. 

The Americans were looking for their first baseball gold since 2000. They agreed to their first silver and their third award in baseball since it turned into an authority Olympic game at the 1992 Games. Baseball was dropped from the Games in 2012 and 2016. They completed the competition 4-2. 

The outcome was a leap forward for Japan. The baseball-focused country had always lost gold, procuring silver once and bronze twice. Prior in the day, the Dominican Republic, another baseball power, asserted its first Olympic decoration in the game by beating South Korea, 10-6. 

For Scioscia, the misfortune was most likely the end. The previous Dodgers catcher and Angels chief rehashed Saturday that he won't oversee in the significant groups, maybe at any level, once more. He said he will remain associated with the game in alternate manners through Team USA and Major League Baseball however in another limit. 

"I put my entire being into it and that's the last straw," Scioscia, 62, said. "Along these lines, I'm not going to oversee once more. The subsequent stage for me is to loosen up tomorrow. I will get the training staff together and perhaps have a brew." 

Scioscia accepted the position to deal with the Americans in April, 90 days after Tommy Lasorda, his director for his whole 13-year playing profession, kicked the bucket. 

It was Lasorda who beseeched Scioscia to make a move to deal with the U.S. Group if at any point introduced to him. The Hall of Fame chief was in the hole for the Americans in 2000 and demanded winning gold for his nation was the main achievement of his celebrated baseball life, overshadowing even his two World Series titles as Dodgers administrator.
