Milan, Italy – The Quick Story: 

Team Canada earned its first win of the Placement Round at the U-15 WBSC Women’s Softball World Cup with a commanding 9–0 run-rule victory over Italy in five innings.

With the bases loaded, Amarah Hunter delivered an RBI single, and Canada continued to capitalize with runs scored on a pair of fielder’s choices. Leah Raysoncapped off the inning by crossing the plate to give Canada a 9–0 lead. In the circle, Rachel Clegg was in full command, shutting down the Italian offense to close out the mercy-rule win.
