Dominicans have 3 more outs to salvage their knockout round chances

Congratulations @mrv86! Hope Mexico defeats whoever they play in Pool D in the quarterfinals. No complaints about the Canadian team from me. They exceeded my expectations

Arozarena continues his amazing day with a bases clearing double. That's the game

Miami is about to go crazy for Cuba on Sunday!

Australia strikes first! 1-0 lead

Also the last time Canada and Mexico played each other in the WBC, this happened. 10 years ago in the same ballpark.

Huge day coming up tomorrow for Pool's C and D: Group D is pretty straight forward: Venezuela has clinched a quarterfinal spot and will finish 1st The winner of the Puerto Rico vs. Dominican Republic game will take the 2nd spot. Group C is a little bit trickier: Both the Mexico vs. Canada and United States vs. Colombia have huge implications. Scenario 1: Mexico and United States win: Mexico finishes 1st. United States finishes 2nd. Colombia is relegated. Scenario 2: Mexico and Colombia win: Mexico finishes 1st. 2nd place between United States, Canada, and Colombia would be determined by the runs allowed per defensive outs tie breaker. Great Britain is relegated. Scenario 3: Canada and United States win: United States finishes 1st. Canada finishes 2nd. Colombia is relegated. Scenario 4: Canada and Colombia win: Canada finishes 1st. Colombia finishes 2nd over United States and Mexico due to head-to-head tie-breaker. Great Britain is relegated.

Absolutely massive win for Canada! Huge showdown with Mexico coming up tomorrow. The US vs. Colombia game looks like it's going to be significant as well

A clutch 3-run home run by Otto Lopez! 5-0 Canada

We got a pitching duel between Canada and Colombia. Canada leads 1-0 in the 7th inning

Thank you! The calendar has been updated

Well, I wasn't expecting to win but I definitely wasn't expecting to be losing 9-0 after 1 inning . You gotta feel bad for the starting pitcher, Mitch Bratt. A 19 year old minor leagues and you're asked to pitch against possibly the greatest offense of all time. I am secretly hoping the plan was to treat this as a throw away game and that we saved our better pitchers against Colombia and Mexico

8 more runs to go to tie the game!

Hahahahaha, can they just end the game already

And now time for the much anticipated Canada vs USA rivalry Oh who am I kidding, we're going to get slaughtered

A perfect game from Puerto Rico pitching! 24 hitters faced, 24 outs, 0 hits, 0 walks, 0 runs.

Puerto dominating Israel. Leading 9-0 and currently hasn't allowed a hit yet

Harrison Ford hits a home run! The Brits lead 6-3 in the 7th

Great Britain has the lead

Colombia and Great Britain tied at 3. No idea how Canada scored 18 runs against this team

Yes, USA is definitely a baseball powerhouse but this isn't like basketball where they always beat the other teams. Dominican Republic and Japan's teams are on a similar level to them. Mexico is still a pretty good team themselves too. A similar comparison to this game would be Czech Republic beating Canada in men's ice hockey. USA honestly hasn't looked too great this tournament so far. They had a closer game against GB than most people expected and they got blown out by Mexico here. They're missing a lot of their best pitchers this tournament and that cost them in this game. Mexico on the other hand, had a great outing from their starting pitcher and that really set the tone for them. While not likely, there's also a chance that Colombia or Canada could also beat them.

There it is! Australia is going to the 2nd round for the first time ever!

Australia takes the lead in the 7th. 3-1 now.

Will Smith slaps a homerun out of the park on Oscar's night

Meanwhile, Czech Republic and Australia are tied at 1. Koreans hoping that the Czechs can win
