Vinnie Pasquantino Puts Italy Ahead of Mexico in WBC Clash

After Javier Assad struck out the side in a 15-pitch first inning, Italy answered first in the second. Pasquantino led off with a solo homer that just cleared the right-field fence, beyond Jarren Duran’s reach and into a fan’s hand. Italy took a 1-0 lead, a result that also kept Team USA’s advancement scenario in focus.
