Aaron Nola Gets the Ball for Italy in WBC Semifinal

Italy will start Nola in the WBC semifinal against Venezuela, a change from the earlier plan to use Lorenzen. Sources say both pitchers could appear as Cervelli takes an all-hands-on-deck approach. Lorenzen had been lined up for the final after beating Team USA in pool play, but Italy may deploy every available arm tonight.
