Team USA’s WBC Path Comes Down To Italy-Mexico Run Math

After losing 8-6 to Italy, Team USA still has a route to the knockout stage — but only through tiebreak scenarios. If Italy beats Mexico, Italy and the U.S. advance. If Mexico wins with six or more runs, Mexico and the U.S. go through. If Mexico scores four or fewer, Team USA is out; five triggers deeper tiebreaks.
