That was incredible final, but I feel sorry for Japan.

Also I think, that WBSC may try to force this new baseball5 thing to the olympics or the co-ed slowpitch softball.

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

Mexico's Suzannah Brookshire today: only run against the  Netherlands (on a wild pitch) and only run against  New Zealand (home run). 

Also Dallas Escobedo's pitching today: 2 complete games, 14 innings, 232 pitch count, 21 strikeouts, 0,57 WHIP. WOW 

Aaaaaaaaand  Netherlands' unlucky again. Just 0-1 with  Mexico.

I'm surprised how weak Netherlands plays this tournament. I hoped they could even fight for the Olympic quota here. 

Poland
