Canada to play for bronze at women’s baseball World Cup after loss to Taiwan
VIERA, Fla. — Taiwan erased an early four-run deficit to defeat Canada 6-4 on Thursday in the super-round finale for both teams at the women’s baseball World Cup.
The result means Canada, the defending silver medallists at the biennial tournament, will play the United States for bronze on Friday while Taiwan advanced to the gold-medal game against Japan.
Canada, ranked No. 2 in the world behind the powerhouse Japanese, had opened the game with a four-run first inning on an error and RBIs from Amanda Asay (two) and Kate Psota.
But Taiwan replied with three runs in the bottom of the first, and three more in the third as the Canadians committed two errors.
