World Cup of Baseball -- Day 12

Before wrapping up the day of games in Europe, how about a little video highlight package of Canada's 16-7 win over Italy from Saturday's action.



Look for Brett Lawrie ('09) in his familiar #13. His triple and his ground rule double are both included in the package.

Also included...Loony Tunes The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down be heard in the backrgound during a crowd shot.

SUNDAY:
Australia 6, Mexico 5

AUS:
Chris Snelling ('00): 1-for-4, RUN, RBI


Canada 5, Taiwan 3 (7 innings)

CAN:
Lawrie: 0-for-2, RUN


USA 12, Italy 3

The boxscore is not available yet, but I am guessing that this is the link.

There are two games on Monday's schedule. One is the makeup game for the rainout between the US and Australia. Game time is 1700 in Bologna, Italy....Um, 1000 in the CDT. That game -- along with Italy v. Netherlands Antilles in Vicenza -- will wrap up the second round.

Looking at the top of this page here...and doing some quick calculations....The US and the Aussies are through to the next round. If America wins they will be unbeaten in the second round and have the top spot in their pool for round three.

Also through to the next round are Puerto Rico (w/ Efrain Nieves), Venezuela (w/Jose Escalona), Cuba, and the Netherlands in one pool. On the other side, Taiwan and Canada join the US and Australia.
