Baseball World Cup Update

Emerson Frostad had another good game as the Canadian team defeated the U.S. team, going 2-5 with a stolen base and a run scored while teammate Jimmy VanOstrand was 0-3 with 2 walks and a run scored.  Andy Van Hekken did not pitch for the U.S. team.  Marlon Avea went 1-1 as a pinch hitter in Nicaragua's loss to Cuba.

After the U.S. team loss to Canada, they were on the verge of being eliminated.  Chinese Taipei, who had currently won ZERO games, had to beat Puerto Rico last night ... and they did.  Now the U.S. team (3-3) will play host country Panama (5-1) in a must win rain-delayed game at 2:00 today.  It would be interesting to see Van Hekken pitch in this one.

Canada will advance to Round 2.  Nicaragua will not.  And the U.S. is still a slim possibility. I will post the schedule when it has been determined.
