Team USA manager mistakenly thought team advanced before loss to Italy

The United States suffered an unexpected 8-6 defeat to Italy in the World Baseball Classic, leaving them in a precarious position. U.S. manager Mark DeRosa faced criticism for mistakenly suggesting the team had already secured a spot in the knockout stage prior to the game. With the U.S. now at 3-1 in pool play, their advancement depends on the outcome of the Mexico vs. Italy game; they will advance if Italy wins or if Mexico wins while scoring five or more runs.
