Pan Am Games Final Update

Canada over U.S.A. 2-1
Canada won out over the U.S. team to earn the gold medal in a tight fast-paced game.  Andy Van Hekken pitched a great game for the U.S. team, going seven innings and giving up six hits, two runs and one walk with six strikeouts.  And Jimmy VanOstrand only got one hit, but that one hit proved to be a game-winner.  With two outs in the sixth, JVO hit a double and drove in two for the Canadian team.  Either team could have won this one, but this time Canada prevailed.  Both of the "Astro-Vans" can be proud of two well-played tournaments in Panama and Mexico over the last several weeks.  They represented their nations and the Astros organization very well.
