Janet Leung and Victoria Howard attacked the infield and got a base from Larissa Franklin. Kelsey Harshman decided on a flying fight.

Mexican pitchers Sarah Cronwegan and Jenna Keira were penalized, but were stopped by relief Daniel Larry, who allowed a win and delivered four strikeouts in 2 1/3 innings.

Victoria Howard and Mexico Sidney Romero, who batted 3-2 for Canada, had two wins in three ad-bats.
