Canada rolls over Botswana at Junior Women’s World Championships


 

The Canadian Junior Women's National Team won their second game
at the ISF Junior Women's World Championships today with a 15-0
mercy rule win over Botswana. The win improved Canada's record
to 2-0.

 

Botswana, an emerging African Nation in Softball, was no match
for Canada but sang and danced the entire game and showed some
great spirit and love for the game. Canada banged out nine hits,
drew four walks and used three Botswana errors as they scored
eleven runs in the first inning and four more in the second.

 

Charlotte Dolan (Coquitlam, BC) led the team with three hits
including two doubles and a home run that went over the wall
(225 feet) and cleared a 16 foot fence on the other side of it.
Corrine Doornberg (Langley, BC) had two singles and a walk while
Jesslyn Hodge (Vancouver, BC) drilled two singles. Stephanie
LeClair (Kitchener, ON) added a double and Tanya McLean (Delta,
BC) added a single to the Canadian attack.

 

Three Canadian pitchers combine on a four inning one hitter as
Leah McIntosh (Whitby, ON), Jillian Lafrance (Calgary, AB) and
Megan Evans (Brooklin, ON) allowed only one hit and struck out
seven.

 

Canada faces the United States on Saturday at 10:30am ET. The
game can be seen live through webcam feeds at www.softball.ca.
