Ohtani with the bunt single. Is there anything this guy can't do!?

Another big chance for Italy here in 5th.

Italy cuts the lead in half and that's the end of Ohtani's night (pitching wise at least)

[thepharoah 2,289]

7-2 for Japan

Europe has had a relatively good tournament with all five teams avoid having to qualify again which opens up the possibility of Spain and France/Germany qualifying next time. WBSC is obviously trying to get Europe more involved in their quest of Olympic inclusion.

 

The hard part is getting things a bit more competitive in Africa and beyond just South Africa (Nigeria and Uganda have historically been the next best nations). Also getting China back on board as a depth team or getting the Philippines more interested would be very helpful too.
