The Aussies won their first match against Mexico, not sure when they play again though.

They didn't just win, they gave the Mexicans a bit of a touch up. 17-7. The 10 run mercy rule was brought in.

I think they play Cuba in the next game. Games have been shown on ESPN.

[Thiele]

from the baseball classic website

while Australia faces Mexico on Wednesday in a rematch with both teams facing elimination

[bayman]

thanks mate, i would have thought both teams would play someone else

[custardarm]

the set up for this is a bit different 4 teams in a group the two winners of the first game play each other (hence aus V cuba) for automatic promotion to finals the two losers play an elimination game (mexico V south africa(sa eliminated)) mexico won so they play aus who lost to cuba and the winner of this goes thru as second in the group thats how they play each other twice

[Keefy]

Aussies are 12-1 down in the bottom of the 5th innings

Mexico scoring 7 runs in the 4th innings

[Thiele]

Final score

Mexico 16

Australia 1
