Ow Canada!!! Credo che qualcuno dimenticasse di dire agli italiani che non possono giocare a baseball. MERCY!!!

MERCY!
Italy wins by the mercy rule, scoring five runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to end the game 14-4 over Canada. Wow. Jim Kaat noted the Canadian team is a lot bigger than the Italians, but that didn’t seem to matter.
The Italians collected 17 hits to Canada’s seven, and showed selectivity at the plate, drawing seven walks to Canada’s four. Italy is now in the driver’s seat in pool D, with a 2-0 record.
Spain just started their game against Puerto Rico. We’ll see if they continue the European surprises. This is exactly the kind of thing that will help make the game popular in other parts of the world.
