Team Canada Starts Canada Cup With a Win



(Surrey, BC)  Team Canada



Team Canada, playing its first competitive game in over two months, showed 
signs of rust in the early going of their first game at the Canada 
Cup.  The Triple Crown Force (Fort Collins, Colorado) scored 3 unearned 
runs in the first 2 innings on 3 Team Canada errors.  Starting pitcher Ani 
Nyhus and Canada’s defense settled down and shut down the Force for the 
remainder of the game.  Nyhus went 5 and 1/3 innings giving up 3 runs on 4 
hits.



Canada got their first run in the 3rd inning when veteran Erin White drove 
in Angela Lichty.  Canada tied the game in a wild 6th inning.  With 2, out 
Sasha Olson walked.  Kristy Odamura, Rachel Shill and Angela Lichty all 
reached base on infield hits – all on very close plays.  Schill and Lichty 
each collected an RBI.  Canada completed the come back in the bottom of the 
7th when with two out Cindy Eadie walked and stole 2nd base.  Erin 
Cumpstone hit a bloop single to right field and Eadie beat the throw to the 
plate to end the game.



“Our team got off to an uncharacteristically slow start defensively” stated 
Head Coach Mike Renney.  “But the athletes showed great character to hang 
in and come back for the victory”



Kaila Holtz picked up the win in relief, pitching 1 2/3 innings allowing no 
runs on 1 hits and while striking out 3 batters.
