Team USA lost the Gold Medal game in baseball to Japan on Saturday by the final score of 2-0. Despite the loss to the host country, history was made from a Rutgers perspective.
Todd Frazier, Patrick Kivlehan and Darren Fenster became the first Rutgers alumni to earn Olympic medals in baseball by bringing home the silver. Frazier started all six games in the middle of the lineup, Kivlehan was a reserve who earned one start and Fenster was the third base coach under manager Mike Scioscia.
Frazier had just three hits overall in the tournament but went 2-for-5 with a double and run scored in the first meeting with Japan earlier in the Olympics.
