Kyle Schwarber left no doubt.

After grounding out in his first two at-bats, the Philadelphia Phillies' slugger delivered in the fifth inning. With the score tied 1-1 between Team USA and Great Britain, Schwarber deposited a pitch from Donovan Benoit into the right-field seats.

Schwarber's blast gave the U.S. a 3-1 lead.
