He relieved Maurizio Andretta with a surprising 3-0 deficit in the second against Greece with one on and no outs. He calmed things down for the most part. Hondro Torres bunted over the runner, then Akili Carris flew out. Kasey Caras doubled to make it 4-0 but Infante got Dimitri Kourtis. After Italy got back one run, Infante retired Ari Sechopoulos to open the 3rd. He walked Nick Varon and plunked George Anthanasiadis but got Andre Demetral to hit into a double play. Italy took a 5-4 lead before Luca Di Raffaele took over and Infante got the win over Dean Christidis, having helped rescue the team from a rough beginning. Against the Czech Republic in the semifinal, he took over for Mattia Aldegheri in the 7th with a 5-1 lead and one on. Vojtěch Menšík bunted for a hit and Infante made a throwing error on the play. He threw a wild pitch to make it 5-2, then walked Max Prejda. Mattia Sireus came in and escaped further damage.
