Subject: Canada Edges DPR Korea at XI ISF World Championships Fan Zone subscription Message FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 30, 2006 Canada Edges DPR Korea at XI ISF World Championships (Beijing, China) - The Senior Women's National Team improved their XI ISF World Championship record to three wins and one loss after shutting out DPR Korea 2-0 in their fourth game of the tournament. In a classic defensive style game Canada took the early 1 run lead in the first inning off of a Sheena Lawrick (Calgary, AB) single scoring Melanie Matthews (Surrey, BC) who had previously reached on a walk. Canada continued to pressure, however was frustrated by DPR Korea's great defensive play. It wasn't until the sixth inning, led by a Lawrick lead off double, that Alison Bradley (Pinkerton, ON) sacrificed to score pinch runner Noemie Marin (Acton Vale, QC) giving Canada a 2-0 edge going into the seventh inning. Lauren Bay (Trail, BC) pitched a full game for Canada and shut down the DPR Korean offense striking out 11 batters and holding them to only 1 hit. "We got another win under our belts today which is our ultimate goal" stated Bay. "We are looking forward to the game tomorrow against Italy." Canada (3-1) will face Italy (1-3) in Thursday's round robin game. Canada will then face South Africa (0-4) on Friday and the Host China (4-0) on Saturday.
