Shocker at the World Cup?

I'll have the whole scoreboard later today, but this was the lead story from Taiwan over at MILB.com.

Italy took advantage of three errors and scored five unearned runs Friday to hand Team USA its first loss at the IBAF World Cup, 6-2, in Taiwan.

Shortstop Brian Bixler (Pirates) mishandled a grounder by Leonardo Zileri in the top of the second, giving Italy a 1-0 lead and ending Team USA's shutout streak at 19 innings. Jack Santora and Davide Dallospedale followed with RBI singles to extend the advantage to 3-0.

No box score yet. I'll pop it in with the update tonight.
