Canada pounds Great Britain 18-8 in seven innings at World Baseball Classic
Tyler O’Neill of Maple Ridge, B.C., and Jacob Robson of Windsor, Ont., had four hits each to lead Canada to an 18-8 mercy rule win over Great Britain in their first game of the World Baseball Classic at Chase Field on Sunday.“I’d like to score 18 every game we play,” Team Canada manager Ernie Whitt said after the game. “It will make it a little bit easier. Great Britain, they just kept battling, battling back.
But Julien and Team Canada responded immediately in the bottom half of the frame when the 23-year-old Minnesota Twins infield prospect clubbed the first pitch he saw from Great Britain starter Akeel Morris over the right-field wall to become the first player to homer on their first pitch of their first WBC at bat.
After an RBI single by Great Britain’s Trayce Thompson made it 5-4 in the top of the second, O’Neill walked to lead off the bottom half of the inning for Canada and Toro drove him in with a double. Curtis Taylor entered the game in the top of the fourth and struck out D’Shawn Knowles to end the frame and then struck out two of the three batters he faced in the fifth in a three-up, three-down inning.
