Italy pull off the upset as they rally in the ninth inning to steal the late win.
Despite being vastly outmatched in terms of talent and depth, the Italians were able to pull off a late upset over the Mexicans.
Down by two runs going into the last innings, Italy were able to pull off a double hit to left field which enabled them to take a last gasp lead.
Despite some wayward pitching by the Italians late on, they were able to hold on for the win which will give them the confidence to progress further in the competition.
The Mexicans should recover from this loss but the defeat is a stark reminder that they still have a long way to go before they can be considered among the best in the competition.
