[edit] Third-place final
The third-place final pitted the losers of the semifinals against each, with the winner taking third place and the loser taking fourth.
7 August
[edit] First-place final
The winners of the semifinals played each other for first and second place. In a rematch of the 1984 final, the reigning champion Japanese team lost to the United States. Since baseball was a demonstration sport, medals were awarded, but the medals were not "official" (and did not count in the respective nations' medal totals).
