Canada edged by defending champion Japan at women’s baseball World Cup
VIERA, Fla. — The Canadians came away a confident bunch despite their first loss at the women’s baseball World Cup.
Canada limited five-time defending champion Japan to just two-hit ball, but couldn’t pull off the potential upset after a rain delay in a 2-1 loss on Friday.
“I think we proved tonight that we have what it takes to beat Japan,” said Canadian Manager Andre Lachance. “Our players, and many of our younger players were not intimidated tonight and we had success.
“We feel good about ourselves and hope to get a shot at (Japan) later in the tournament.”
