Italy shocked Team USA in the World Baseball Classic, knocking off the Americans, 8-6, to take the lead in Pool B. The U.S. has completed its pool at 3-1 while the Italians play Team Mexico today to complete pool play.
If Italy wins, the U.S. advances to the elimination round. If Mexico wins, there is a three-way tie atop Pool B and tiebreakers will be used to determine which two teams advance.
In the other two games, Canada will face Cuba and the Dominican Republic will take on Venezuela.
