FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Canada Defeats Brazil 7-0 at VI Pan American Softball Championship
November 27th, 2005

(Ottawa) Softball Canada’s Women’s National team defeated Brazil 7-0, 
extending their
record to 2-0 at the VI Pan American Softball Championship.  Canada scored 
seven runs on
nine hits and committed two errors.

Head Coach Lori Sippel commented; "Going into the game we talked about 
controlling both
halves of each inning. Ashley Lanz did a great job for us on the defensive 
side as she
was one error away from a perfect game. Her performance allowed the bats to 
warm and the
hitters answered the call."

Canada has yet to give up a run in the tournament, receiving another 
outstanding
pitching performance.  Ashley Lanz (Coquitlam, BC) earned the win; she 
struck out eight
Brazilian batters and did not give up a hit.

Canada got the offense going in the third inning.  Brittany Freight (Las 
Vegas, NV) led
off with a walk, stole second base and then advanced to third base on a 
Rachel Schill
(Kitchener, ON) sacrifice bunt.  Kristy Odamura (Richmond, BC) then singled 
to left
field scoring Freight.  With Odamura on first, Sheena Lawrick (Calgary, AB) 
walked
followed by a sharp double to right center field by Alison Bradley that 
scored Odamura
from first base.  Megan Timpf (Port Dover, ON) finished off the scoring in 
the third
inning by hitting a single to center field that brought home Lawrick and 
Bradley.
Canada would add two runs in the fourth inning and one run in the fifth 
inning, ending
the game due to the international run-rule.
