Olympics, Day 3

With all eyes on the clash between gold medal favourites Cuba and Japan Day 3 of the Olympic baseball tournament was not a good one for the European teams. Both the Netherlands and Italy were shut out. The Dutch were beaten 7-0 by Canada, which is now the only undefeated team left in the preliminary stage. The Canadians scored all their runs in the first four innings.

Italy lost 6-0 to Australia and Greece lost to Chinese Taipei, 7-1.

Oh yeah: Japan won, 6-3.
