Anthony, who has started all five games for Team USA, has six hits, four drawn walks, and four runs scored across games against Brazil, Great Britain, Mexico, Italy, and Canada. The Fightin' Bald Eagles (not actually the nickname, just a thought) will need him to produce moving forward as it faces the Dominican Republic on Sunday -- with the winner moving on to face either Venezuela or Italy in the tournament final on Tuesday.
