Canadian Little Leaguers eliminated after loss to Curaçao

WILLIAMSPORT - Canada was eliminated from the Little League World Series following an 8-1 loss to the Caribbean team on Monday.

Curley Martha and Nathan Castillo each had two hits and drove in a run for Curaçao’s team.

Brady Dorwart scored on a passed ball in the top of the sixth and final inning for Canada, which managed just three hits.

Castillo opened the scoring with a two-run single in the bottom of the first inning, then back-to-back RBI singles from Jurdrick Profar and Mantha in the bottom of the second staked Curaçao to a 4-0 lead. Following two scoreless innings, Curaçao doubled its lead in the bottom of the fifth with an RBI single from Deshandro Tromp, a two-run error that scored Castillo and Tromp and an RBI triple from Pe.son Revierre.

Keven Rosina went the distance for Curaçai, striking out seven and not surrendering an earned run.

Timmy Piasentin struck out eight, but allowed seven earned runs for Canada over 42/3 innings. Dorwart gave up Revierre’s triple before inducing a pop out in foul territory in relief.
