Canada vs mexico baseball

So it was not a fluke. Mexico beating Team USA was not a once-a-day thing.

If the members of Canada's national women's baseball team had any jitters heading into its first game of the Women's Baseball World Cup Qualifiers on Tuesday night, they sure didn't show it. The squad overcame both its on-field opposition and a lengthy rain delay to beat Mexico at Baseball Central in Thunder Bay, Ont. It was good. Canada starting pitcher Raine Padgham kept a brisk, three-up-three-down pace for the first three innings. In fact, she didn't allow Mexico a hit or a baserunner until the fourth inning. In the meantime, Canada had got on the board early, picking up runs in the first and third innings to take a lead.

Benches-clearing brawls happen in baseball, but aren't supposed to be a possibility in the World Baseball Classic, in keeping with the spirit of the international event. It was about as violent a fight as any seen in Major League Baseball, with both teams' dugouts and bullpens emptying, punches thrown, players knocked to the ground and, after all of that, fans throwing things at Canada's players.

In interviews with The Arizona Republic, the incident has long since been left behind — but the memories of that day in Phoenix remain fresh. Sparks flew when Canada's Chris Robinson bunted for a hit with his team leading Mexico in the top of the ninth inning. That year, a WBC tiebreaker to qualify for the next round relied on overall runs scored and run differential and Canada was looking to tack on runs despite being comfortably ahead. Mexico's Luis Cruz fielded Robinson's bunt and gestured as if to tell his pitcher, Arnold Leon, to hit the next batter. That was Rene Tosoni, and after two close pitches and warning from the home plate umpire, Tosoni was plunked. That's when things turned ugly. Several coaches and players from both teams who were on the field in remain with Mexico and Canada. Here are their looks back on the moment. You know, I try not to think about it. But sometimes things happen.
