Baseball World Cup Update

Canada easily won its first game of the day over Venezuela 7-0, getting all of the runs that they needed in the first inning with help from Astros Emerson Frostad and Jimmy VanOstrand.  JVO was the DH and went 1-3 with an RBI while Frostad (normally a catcher) manned first base and went 1-3 with a double and 2 RBI's.

The second game for Canada wasn't quite so easy with a long rain delay starting in the bottom of the first. This time JVO was back at first base (going 0-3 but reaching on an error and scoring) and Frostad was behind the plate (going 2-3 with an RBI).  Canada prevailed over South Korea and has a good chance at getting to the finals.

The U.S. team won over Australia 2-1.  They will play two today to make up for Wednesday's rainouts.

Today's action
U.S. (2-3) vs. South Korea (2-4) at 11:00 a.m.
Canada (4-2) vs. Cuba (4-1) at 3:30 p.m.
U.S. vs. Venezuela (1-4) at 3:30 p.m.
