Italy pulled off one of the biggest upsets in World Baseball Classic history with an 8-6 win over the United States on Tuesday in Houston.
With two out in the ninth inning, Aaron Judge came to the plate representing the tying run but struck out to end the game.
Meanwhile, the star-studded Americans’ loss leaves them in a precarious position with Italy playing Mexico on Wednesday. If Mexico wins, all three teams would finish pool play 3-1, which means the U.S. might not advance to the quarterfinals due to a tiebreaker.
