Prince George's Jared Young was Canada's designated hitter.
PHOENIX — 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.
He went 0-3 at the plate with two strikeouts, but his patience at the plate earned him three of Team Canada's 16 walks. He scored a run in the fourth inning on one of those walks. Young also recorded an RBI, when his groundout to second base scored the Canadian runner at third base.“I'd like to score 18 every game we play,” said Team Canada manager Ernie Whitt after the game.
Edouard Julien and Owen Caissie homered for Canada, while Freddie Freeman , Otto Lopez and Abraham Toro had two hits each. Canada will play the United States in their second game of Pool C play tonight. The World Baseball Classic games are being televised on Sportsnet.
