Mexico has played well at Toronto, upsetting #2 seed Argentina, while the USA has struggled to score runs since its 10-0 rout of the winless Dominican Republic in their opener. The scores in the three straight losses have been respectable, 3-2 in 8 innings vs. Canada and 3-1 losses to both Venezuela and Argentina, but the strikeouts and lack of offense have been their downfall, with 16, 12 and 16 in the three losses.
According to the official Pan-Ams website, Gerald Muizelaar will start for the USA and Jose Naranjo for Mexico.
The USA won both games against Mexico at the WBSC, by scores of 7-0 and 4-3. Tony Mancha was the winner in both. A Nick Mullins home run was the game winning hit in the WBSC consolation final.
