Medicine Hat blanked by Puerto Rico in Junior Little League World Series opener
TAYLOR, MI – The debut of the Medicine Hat AAA All-Stars on the world stage didn’t go quite as planned on Sunday, losing their first game at the 2019 Junior Little League World Series.
Playing as Team Canada, the All-Stars were only able to muster three hits against Team Puerto Rico in a 4-0 shutout loss in Taylor, Michigan.
Over the first three innings, Canada and Puerto Rico were on even footing with a scoreless game entering the fourth inning.
Medicine Hat’s defence wasn’t able to contain Puerto Rico’s bats in the top half of the fourth following a pair of singles and a walk by Kevan Schafer to load the bases.
