World Cup of Baseball -- Day 9

USA 14, Taiwan 3 (7 innings)

Australia 5, Italy 4

Ex-Rattler for Australia:
Chris Snelling ('00): 3-for-4, RUN, RBI

Snelling drove in the winning run for Australia in the bottom of the ninth.

Aussie!Aussie!Aussie!
Oy!Oy!Oy!

Canada 3, Japan 2 (11 innings)

Ex-Rattlers for Canada:
Brett Lawrie ('09): 1-for-5
Jimmy Henderson ('09): 3IP, H, R, 0ER, 2K, WIN

Lawrie had the only hit for Canada in the first 10 innings of the game. Henderson allowed a run in the top of the eleventh, but got the win. Lawrie scored the tying run on Emerson Frostad's game-winning two-run single in the bottom of the eleventh.

Day 10 schedule for teams with ex-Rattlers:
Puerto Rico* v. Cuba
Venezuela v. South Korea
Netherlands Antilles v. Canada
USA v. Australia

*-Wild Speculation Alert! Efrain Nieves gets the start v. Cuba? Maybe?

Supporting facts leading to this conclusion:
He last pitched on September 12
He hasn't pitched in the second round

Game time is at 1900 in Amsterdam....Noon CDT? Maybe?
