Italy does it! They win 6-2. Cuba in major trouble now

All tied at 2!

Amazing play by Moncada to prevent a run for Italy!

Very respectable effort by China. Was definitely expecting the mercy rule. Going to be a big game for them and the Czechs coming up tomorrow

Cuba scores! 2-1 now. On another note, this Cuban fan with the horn is going to drive me to insanity by the time this tournament ends

Yoenis Cespedes with a bad read in the outfield, 2-0 Italy

Upset complete! Australia wins! Korea in huge trouble now. If all 3 of Australia, Japan, and Korea win their games against the Czech Republic and China, then Korea would basically have to beat Japan to advance which will be anything but easy.

Australia gets out of the inning! 8-7 lead for them still

man Australia is really shooting themselves in the foot here

ooh boy, tying run at the plate!

Oh my, Australia with another 3-run home run! Korea in huge trouble now

Jurickson Profar has liftoff! 2-0 Kingdom of the Netherlands

This game is insane!!!

Korea extends their lead. 4-2 now

Korea should have gone with Kim Kwang Hyun for this game. A must win game for them and they don't use their ace.

Australia takes an early 1-0 lead on Korea. Korea looks terrible so far. On another note, there will be no repeat no-hitter for Martis

Fun fact: Dutch pitcher, Shairon Martis, is the only player in WBC history to throw a no-hitter (not allowing any hits in a game) which he did against Panama back in 2006. Today, Panama and the Netherlands meet again for the first time since then and the starting pitcher for the Netherlands today is, you guessed it, Shairon Martis Lot of other stuff to look forward to today. Korea vs. Australia could be the match that decides 3rd place in Pool B, Shohei Ohtani makes his first start, Matt Harvey starts for Italy, and Cuba needs to win tonight or they'll be in serious trouble

Yikes, glad I went back to sleep after the 4th. I'm officially dead inside

Panama strikes first; classic mistake of leaving your starting pitcher in the game too long

Uh, Taiwan leaves the bases loaded. Crowd's been absolutely incredible so far!

I am awake! Crowd going to be rocking for Panama vs. Taiwan

Game over! Netherlands win. They continue to have Cuba's number in WBC play.

Lot of wind in the ballpark apparently. No one can hit a home run. The kingdom leads 4-2 going into the 9th

Chadwick Tromp with the bloop single! 4-1 for the Dutch

Luis Robert has been absolutely horrific so far for Cuba
