Bye bye Italia!! It was a nice run for the Italians and hopefully this will help grow the game in that area of the world, which is one of the purposes for tournaments like this. Next time, maybe the Italians bring a  better bullpen as it seems like they spit out a couple of late inning leads.

Buon lavoro Italia!
(Good job Italy!!)

The Italians, who had only six major leagues on their roster, reached the second round for the first time.

"It was good for this team," Rizzo said. "Everyone had written us off that we shouldn't be here. We earned respect."
