Bonney Lake (WA) 3, Braintree (MA) 2 — Pitching duo slams the door in elimination win
Sawyer Breed and Andrew Madsen combined on a three-hitter to keep Bonney Lake alive in South Williamsport. Breed steadied himself after two unearned runs in the second—striking out seven and walking three across five strong frames—before Madsen delivered a perfect sixth to lock it down. The Washington bats answered immediately: Cole Sehlin went 2-for-2 and tied the game with an RBI single in the bottom of the second, then Atley Eager raced home on a wild pitch for what stood up as the winning run. Braintree’s only scoring came when Sam Trotta’s single turned into two runs on an outfield miscue. Henry Kuka battled the distance for Massachusetts, striking out six while allowing six hits and three runs (two walks), but Bonney Lake’s clean finish in the field and late-inning poise made the difference. If you’re brushing up on diamond strategy as you follow the summer action, Sportshub’s primer on how to bet on baseball and their breakdown of MLB moneylines are helpful, fan-friendly refreshers.
Vancouver (Canada) 12, Brisbane (Australia) 0 — Canada erupts late to advance
Vancouver broke open a 4–0 game with a fifth-inning avalanche, piling up 13 hits overall to eliminate Australia. Canada played it textbook: plenty of “small ball” pressure and gap shots to keep the line moving. Caleb Jackson tripled home two as the floodgates opened, Misha Lee added an RBI double, and Arek Aubuchon went a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBIs to headline the onslaught. On the mound, Tyson Grimsrud-Ronse teamed with Lee for a one-hit shutout, silencing Brisbane from the jump. Australia’s bullpen couldn’t stem the tide—reliever Preston Reid was tagged for nine runs on eight hits and three walks in the decisive frame—as Canada’s balance and depth turned a steady lead into a runaway. For bettors comparing scoring margins at higher levels, Sportshub’s concise MLB run line betting guide pairs well with these lopsided results.
