FINALLY!!!
It has been three games, but Team USA finally decided to wake up with a big win over Team Canada. The bats got going early and never looked back. Even with last night’s loss, Team USA has to be confident about their chances to advancing while enjoying a day off. However, they must still take care of business on Wednesday against Columbia.
Here are a few more fun highlights from Monday:
