Italy’s Unexpected Strategy Could Topple Venezuela—Is an Epic Upset Brewing?
Italy didn’t have quite as dramatic of a victory, but I’m sure they were happy enough about winning their games. To be clear, it was a bit of a nail-biter, because they won by two runs, but they never trailed in the game, and they had two four-run innings. Just like Venezuela and Japan, Puerto Rico’s Willi Castro hit a homer to start the game. Italy wasn’t phased as they matched that with a run scoring single. Then they got another run-scoring single. Then another run-scoring single… you get the picture. The Italian team has done this the entire World Baseball Classic – they are stringing together hits, while a lot of other teams are playing longball. You’re probably well aware, but hits and contact hitting are more reliable than swinging for the fences. Outside of those two innings they didn’t score, but it doesn’t matter when you’re putting crooked numbers on the board.
