In case you missed it, Team Italy pulled off a massive upset against Team USA on Tuesday night in the World Baseball Classic. Down 8-0 heading into the bottom of the sixth, the U.S. cut the deficit to 8-6 in the bottom of the ninth, but failed to complete the comeback. Bryce Harper, representing the tying run in the bottom of the eighth as a pinch hitter, flew out to end the inning. A wide throw from Brad Keller to second base allowed Team Italy to score three runs in the top of the sixth. Former Phillie Michael Lorenzen shut down the powerful Team USA lineup over 4 2/3 innings.
