🚨 WBC Pool B Drama Alert!

After USA’s 8-6 loss to Italy tonight, here’s the quick scoop:

**Standings Now:**
- Italy: 3-0
- USA: 3-1
- Mexico: 2-1

**Scenarios:**
- **Italy Wins:** They go 4-0, USA advances as runner-up (3-1). Face Pool A winner in quarters. 
- **Mexico Wins:** Three-way tie at 3-1. Tiebreakers decide!

**Tiebreaker Rules (Simplified):**
1. Head-to-head: It’s a cycle (each beat one, lost to one) – no winner here.
2. Runs allowed per out in mutual games: Lowest ratio advances. Mexico likely #1. USA needs Mexico to win and score 5+ runs to edge Italy for #2. If Mexico wins while scoring 4 or fewer runs, Team USA is out
3. If tied, earned runs, batting avg, or lottery next.

USA’s fate hangs on the score! Who ya got? ⚾ #WBC2026 #TeamUSA #BaseballDrama
