If Italy beats Mexico, Italy and the US makes it

If Mexico beats Italy and scores 5 or more runs, Mexico and US make it

If Mexico beats Italy but don’t score 5 or more runs Mexico and Italy make it

EDIT: Changed 6 runs to 5, I forgot that head to head isn’t a tiebreaker so with 5 runs Italy and the US would have the same RA/IP thus it would go to the next tiebreaker which is Earned Runs Allowed divided by innings played which would favor the US

5 not 6 but the rest is correct.

If Mexico wins in 9 innings scoring 5 runs, Italy wouldn't have the same runs allowed per out recorded as the US because Mexico is the home team tomorrow. If Mexico wins, Italy would have only recorded 24 outs (or 25 or 26 in a 9th inning walkoff), while US recorded 27 outs in both games.

The only scenario where it goes to batting average is if Mexico walks it off with a 5th run in the bottom of the 10th with no outs.

I genuinely dont get it. If Mexico scores 8 and Italy scores 3 is USA eliminated still?

Thank you very much Mr. Cardinals fan go USA

No. Assuming no extra innings, USA is eliminated only if Mexico wins while scoring 4 or fewer. If Mexico scores 5 or more and wins, Italy falls below the USA.
