The Triple Crown Colorado team became the champions in the Canada Cup, an international tournament played at Softball City in Surrey. Colorado defeated Team Canada in the final match.
Colorado managed to win the game 7-5, but the game was decided when Canada was just one hit away from victory and all the bases were loaded, but the Canadian hitter got out.
Colorado was leading 5-0 after the end of the fourth inning in the match, but in the fifth inning, Canada made a strong comeback, and the score reached 6-5. However, after this, the Canadian team could not repeat the momentum of the fifth inning and ultimately lost the match.
Last year, Team Canada won the tournament undefeated, but this time in the 30th edition of the tournament, Team Canada could not repeat last year's performance.
After the match, coach Kaleigh Rafter said that the team's overall performance in the tournament was good, but the pitchers had a tough final match. Rafter said that the team's next focus is on the World Games in August.
The bronze medal in the tournament went to the team of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Meanwhile, Kianna Jones, from Team Canada, was named the Best Defensive Player of the Tournament.
Kianna Jones said in an exclusive chat with Connect FM that the award she received is a team award and also said about the future goal that we are not satisfied with our performance and now the goal is to give a good performance in the World Games to be held in China.
