Canada scored all their runs in the sixth inning on their way to registering a 7-1 win in the Pool A encounter at the Pepsi Softball Centre.

The US quickly got on the board with Matthew Ratliff leading the game off with a walk before stealing second.

But their good work ultimately came undone as Ryan Boland doubled to left-centre to score three before two more singles.

Shane Boland then grounded into a double play, but Mathieu Roy was able to score.

The US finally got out of the inning as Bradley Ezekiel grounded out to second.

Another team still undefeated in Pool A is the Dominican Republic, who beat India 15-0 today.

They are followed in the standings by Argentina, 8-0 winners over Hong Kong, and Australia, 7-0 victors at the expense of South Africa.

Japan and New Zealand lead the way in Pool B having kept up their unblemished records.

The Japanese thrashed Turkey 24-0, while the Kiwis overcame Great Britain 16-0.

There were also wins today for Denmark and Venezuela with the former beating Botswana 1-0 and the latter defeating Czech Republic 12-5.

The event in the Canadian city is due to continue tomorrow.
