Russia beat the Dutch, coming from behind in the 9th inning in group play, and beat the Italians in the semifinals. The Dutch avenged their earlier loss, defeating Russia in the gold medal game, 4–0 behind the pitching of Rob Cordemans and Patrick Beljaards.

In group play, Russia lost to Great Britain, marking the first time the British defeated an eventual medalist in the tournament.
