Canada at 4-2 at U23 Americas Qualifier

After six days of competition at the World Baseball Softball Confederation U23 Men's Americas Qualifer, Team Canada has a record of four wins and two losses.

Canada lost 5-4 on Wednesday to Dominican Republic. Jonni Suriel had the win while Dale Schweyer and Brody Fraser pitched for Canada. 

Thursday was a big bounce back day as Canada defeated the United States 4-2. Nic Neid had the complete game win while Marco Diaz took the loss. Max Major had two hits for Canada and two RBIs.

Canada wraps up the qualifying round with a game Friday at 4:30 p.m. local time (3:30 p.m. Eastern) against Venezuela. 

With the top four teams qualifying for the World Cup in April, Canada has secured a spot. 

If Canada (4-2) wins Friday over Venezuela (4-2) and Argentina (5-1) loses to Mexico (5-1), Canada would finish second on a tie breaker (head to head vs Argentina) and play in the gold medal game on Saturday. 

If Canada wins over Venezuela and Mexico loses to Argentina, Canada would finish third on a tie breaker (head to head vs Mexico) and play in the bronze medal game on Saturday. 

If Canada loses to Venezuela, even if the United States (3-3) defeats Guatemala (1-5), Canada will finish fourth on the tie breaker (head to head vs USA) and play in the bronze medal game.

If Canada defeats Venezuela, the USA would finish fourth if they defeat Guatemala, as they have the head to head tie breaker vs Venezuela.
