Canada Shocks Japan In Little League World Series

It was the second straight shutout win to open the tournament for Vancouver’s Little Mountain Little Leaguers, who defeated Australia 7-0 on Wednesday. Japan is a perennial powerhouse in the tournament, having won it 11 times. Canada has never won the crown. “We knew Japan were the favorites going into the game. The longer we kept it close, the more pressure was going to build on them,” Canada coach Ulysses Yan said. Benjamin Dartnell’s triple was the big blow in the sixth for Canada. Dartnell, as a pitcher, had eight strikeouts in the win over Australia. “When I’m pitching, I’m mostly focused on pitching well. I always try to hit well, but I don’t think about it that much. I’m just thinking about pitching,” Dartnell said. “When I’m not pitching, I’m thinking more about hitting and how to do well. My hit also came at the right time.” Lucas Weisser and Jaxon Mayervich combined for a five-hit shutout, striking out 12. Canada returns to action on Monday against Mexico. “The team is still pretty grounded,” Yan said. “We all understand that from now on it’s all gravy. We’ll stay competitive no matter who we face as long as we play our game and stick to the basics.” The tournament is a double knockout.
