CANADA 13-3 GUATEMALA Panama City, Panama. – In an impressive display, the Canadian Junior National Team overpowered Guatemala in a 13-3 victory, clinching the win in just five innings due to the mercy rule. The victory puts the Canadians in the driver seat of Group A with a 1-0 record. Top Performers: The Canadian offense was relentless from the start, scoring in every inning and capitalizing on key opportunities. Eric Hartman (St. Albert, AB) got things rolling at the top of the lineup scoring three runs in a perfect 3-for-3 day at the dish. Leo Cote (Ayer’s Cliff, QC) provided solid production in the middle of the Canadian order, scoring three and driving in four runs over his 2-for-3 performance.
