In Houston, RHP Logan Webb threw 4.2 scoreless frames as the USA built a 5-0 lead over Canada by the top of the 6th inning, with 2B Brice Turang (2-for-3, walk) and CF Pete Crow-Armstrong (2-for-4) knocking in the last 2 runs.
Canada responded with 3 runs in the bottom of the 6th, which included a 2-out RBI single by DH Tyler Black (1-for-4).
In the 7th, two infield singles and a passed ball with nobody out had Canada one hit away from tying the game, but RHP David Bednar retired 3 straight (pop out, K, K) to silence the threat, with Team USA ultimately holding on for the 5-3 win.
