Team U.S.A. will advance to the second round. After pounding the stuffing out of Venezuela 15-6 in a mercy-rule shorten game. The U.S.A. will now wait to either play Venezuela again, or the winner of the Italy vs Canada game. (Right now Italy is up 3-0 in the 4th)
Other news would be that our rivals to the south, the Mexican team got pounded by the boy down under. The Australians surprised the team from Mexico early and late. In the first World Baseball Classic, back in 2006, the Australians only scored four runs in the three games they played. This time they scored three run before making an out. This game also had the Mercy-rule invoked.
I will post the results of the first round of play after everything is in.
