This should be quite the battle, with a strong Venezuela lineup facing a team that no one gave much of a chance when this tournament began. Italy is undefeated in this tournament, going 4-0 in pool play and winning a quarterfinal game against Puerto Rico.
The winner will face Team USA in the WBC championship game tomorrow. Italy. gets the slight advantage of being the “home” team and batting last.
