And then there was 4 olympic hopefuls.
 

 
Winner of DR-Venezuela gets Korea
Looser gets Japan
Puerto Rico gets Italy
Canada gets the US

So big day tomorrow. Here's what's at stake:
 
Pool A:  Canada vs.  Cuba - 15:00 ET/20:00 CET
Puerto Rico has already clinched a spot in the quarterfinals. This matchup will determine who will join them from this Pool.
If Canada wins, they will finish 1st in Pool A, Puerto Rico will finish 2nd, and Cuba is eliminated If Cuba wins, they will finish 2nd in Pool A, Puerto RIco will finish 1st, and Canada is eliminated  
Pool B:  Italy vs.  Mexico - 19:00 ET/0:00 CET
After the upset by Italy over the US today, Italy, Mexico and the US all have a chance of advancing to the quarterfinals.
If Italy wins, they will finish 1st in Pool B, the US will finish 2nd and Mexico is eliminated If Mexico wins in 9 innings and scores 4 or fewer runs, the US is out and Italy and Mexico advance. If Mexico wins in 9 innings and scores 5 or more runs, Italy is out and the US and Mexico advance.  
Pool D:  Dominican Republic vs.  Venezuela - 20:00 ET/1:00 CET
One of the biggest rivalries in baseball featuring two powerhouses writes another chapter. This time, the stakes are bigger than ever. Both teams have already clinched a spot in the quarterfinals but the winner of this matchup will win Pool D and be in the driver's seat for an Olympic quota.
If the Dominican Republic wins, they will face South Korea in the quarterfinals and Venezuela would face Japan If Venezuela wins, they will face South Korea in the quarterfinals and the Dominican Republic would face Japan

Unfortunately, the loser of their direct match will likely play  in the quarters and there's a good chance you need to reach the semis to get the quota. The quotas likely comes down to the winner of  and the winner of a Pool A team () vs.   
 
This is why having Olympic quotas being decided in a tournament with unrelated teams is a horrible idea.
