4-4 bottom 9. Mexico gets a man on base. A 2 run home eliminates Italy. Intentional balk the runner home to lose 5-4. Both Italy and Mexico go thru.
And the Mexican player balked 3 times shakes hands with the Italian 2b, SS,3b each step of the way like Hank Aaron did setting the HR record.

Ideally it’s Arozorena and he then also shakes hands with the Italian catcher after he got snubbed by his own teammate in Raleigh.

This can be setup so many ways so that both these teams go through, in an American ball park. It’s why FIFA changed all final group games to being at the same time, at the utter fiasco of 1978 World Cup and others, when group stages determined who was on the Final and Argentina needed 4 goals to win and Peru let them score 7 after taking bribes.
