In Cartagena de Indias, for the Placement Round, Venezuela outlasted Italy, 10-9 in nine innings, to claim their second win of the Placement Round on Saturday. Venezuela recovered from a four-run deficit in the fourth inning to tie the game, send the game to extra innings and win it in the ninth with a 10-pitch bases-loaded walk by Camilo Gutierrez.

In the top half of the eighth inning, Italy scored three runs to take the lead again in the game. But Venezuela tied the game again with their own three-run rally. Italy failed to score in their ninth at bat, and Venezuela clinched the win.
