U-18 Pre World Cup: Canada blanks Australia in series finale
By Adam Morissette
Baseball Canada
It took eight games, but Canada finally earned a win in the Australia-Canada U-18 Series as they shutout the Aussies, 1-0. The win means that Canada will head to the WBSC U-18 World Cup on a high note after they dropped the first seven games of the series. Canada will open the World Cup on Friday against Chinese Taipei.
Michael Brettell (Fonthill, Ont.) and Mateo Vincelli (Burnaby, BC) combined on the five-hit shutout, while Tristan Pompey (Mississauga, Ont.) scored the only run of the game after a throwing error in the second inning.

HOW IT HAPPENED
- Tristan Pompey (Mississauga, Ont.) led off the bottom of the second inning with a double down the left field line and scored from second when the Australian shortstop threw wildly to first base on a groundball off the bat of Luke Van Rycheghem (Kent Bridge, Ont.).
JNT HIGHLIGHTS
- Canadian starter Michael Brettell (Fonthill, Ont.) fired six scoreless innings where he scattered three hits and a walk, while striking out eight batters. He worked his way out of trouble in the first inning getting a fly-out to right to leave the bases loaded and got a strikeout and pop-out to leave two runners on in the fifth.
- Things didn’t get off to a good start for reliever Matteo Vincelli (Burnaby, BC) who allowed a lead-off double in the seventh. He battled back though getting a groundout and pair of fly-outs to end the inning and leave the runner stranded.
- Vincelli worked his way out of a jam in the eighth and got some tremendous defensive help to keep the Aussies off the scoreboard. An error, single and walk loaded the bases before a strikeout and double play that saw shortstop Kobe Hyland (Spruce Grove, Alta.) throw to first while in the air to get the out and end the inning.
