Canada was hitting well - they outhit the U.S. 14-6 - but they just couldn't keep pace on the scoring side and lost, 7-4.
Dustin Houle homered for Canada and John Lockyer had four hits.
Team Canada lost the services of Evan Rutckyj who has a sore shoulder.
WP - Kory DuBose (1-0)
Save - Mario Alaniz (1)
LP - Cal Quantrill (0-1)
Record - 0-2

STANDINGS
Everyone has played two of their three games.
Group A is decided. Cuba and Australia have both gone 2-0 so far and will advance. Japan and China are eliminated.
Group B is the exact opposite. All four teams (Chinese Taipei, The Netherlands, South Korea, and Israel) are 1-1. The last two games in the group are elimination games.
Group C has Colombia advancing for sure and Canada eliminated for sure, but the United Stated and the Dominican Republic are still fighting for a spot.
Group D is the same, with Italy in, Venezuela out, and Puerto Rico and Mexico still slugging it out.
