Loser's Quarterfinals Result:

 1 - 0 (F/9)  

 8 - 1 (F/5) 

 

Extremely close match between Mexico and Italy, very good pitcher's duel. Took until the fourth extra half inning until anyone scored (which is pretty unusual given the International extra inning Rules)

I watched the entire match and honestly Mexico deserved winning it. Italy showed a rock-solid defense, absolutely stronger than Mexico’s, but the american were more able in conquering bases. Plus, the pitcher was absolutely unplayable. 

 

However, absolutely great results for Italy, we must be confident for the Olympic qualification, we can do it

 

P.S. How it is sad to see men’s football with 16 teams and other sport with 12 or even less

GO, FO, SO inning for Puerto Rican defense... Finally they survive an inning without errors and grand slams.

tied in hits, but Japan 6:0 up. Oh wells.

I feel really bad for Italy. It was so close.

Loser's Quarterfinals:

 1 - 2

 10 - 4

 

Currently, Canada least Australia 12-0 (!!!!!) in the top of the third (!!!!!!!) inning of the loser's semifinals. So it looks like the medals will go to Japan, the USA and Canada in some order.

Loser's Semifinals:

 12 - 1 (F/4) 

 

The mercy rule was invoked in the match between Canada and Australia after only four innings. Australia ended up using four pitchers in the match.

 

Canada will face the loser of  vs.  in the loser's finals for a spot in the Grand Finals. Additionally, either  or  will grab an Olympic quota.

Huge win by Canada against Australia. This also guarantees an American nation will win the quota (even if the US was a huge favourite pre-tournament) and likely means Chinese Taipei won't qualify a team. Of course in a six team tournament there was always going to be snubs.
