Canada Elite iced by Michigan 8 - 3

 

(Ottawa, ON) - Softball Canada's Elite Team fell to the Michigan
Ice in game two of a four game mini U.S. Tour by a score of eight
to three.

 

Canada Elite took to an early two run lead in the top of the
second with their final run coming in the third.  Shannon Rossiter
(Surrey, BC) and Jennifer Yee (North Delta, BC) led the Elite
team in hitting with Rossiter going two for three at the plate
with a home run and a double and Yee going two for three at the
plate with a double and a single.

 

Ashley Lanz (Winnipeg, MB) received the start for Canada Elite
allowing only one run in almost six innings of work.  Lanz, who
was relieved by Katie Rosentreter (Winnipeg, MB), returned late
in the sixth inning to close out the game.

 

The Ice battled back to tie the game in the fifth inning and
capitalized on three Canadian defensive errors in the sixth inning
to score five runs and take the lead.

 

The Michigan Ice will host Canada Elite in game three of the
U.S mini tour at Currie Stadium in Midland, Michigan on Saturday
June 24th and again on Sunday June 25th.
