You can watch the game on CBC, starting at 11:30am EST.
After going 4-0 in a pre-Athens tournament in Italy (including a 2-1 victory over today’s opponent), the Canadian Men’s baseball team start their mission toward Olympic glory with today’s game. Much has been made of the team not being able to field Justin Morneau or Jeff Francis, both players having been called up to the big leagues, but this is still a very talented squad, capable of perhaps a bronze or better. Best of luck to you, boys.
Two other games have already been played today. The favored Cubans beat a talented Australian team 4-1 and Japan squashed Italy 12-0.
Congratulations to the Canadian Women’s Softball team. They won their opening game of the Olympics with a 2-0 victory, also against Chinese Taipei.
