This is a dumb format. What if the USA loses tomorrow? That won't matter and they will still go into the final round tied with a team 3-0.

Should be more like the World Baseball Classic where results don't carry over and the 2 teams from the same pool play each other again.  Would only extend the tournament by 1 day to do that and it's not like there's travel involved.

Unfortunate for Canada... United States and Dominican Republic are better (on paper) than Venezuela. I was hoping for us to at least make the final tournament.

Drama at the Canada USA game. The umpires have walked off the field.

[intoronto 5,850]

 loses 10-1 to the everything unraveled in the 8th inning with the bizarre turn of events.

 

Now it comes down to beating  for the spot to Tokyo.

[NearPup 3,171]

lost to 6-5, so is out of the running for the final qualification tournament.
