McNiven to play in World Cup of Baseball PDF Print E-mail
Written by Administrator   
Wednesday, 31 October 2007
UBC alumnus and Giants farmhand Brooks McNiven has been named to the Canadian Senior National Team that will compete in the World Cup of Baseball in Taiwan Nov. 6-18.

Baseball Canada is putting up press releases about this at baseball.ca. One of them says that most of the games in the tournament will be webcast by Stadeo TV, the same company that was supposed to webcast "Team Canada"'s games in France. Their commentators include former Thunderbird pitcher Gary Tongue and former Kwantlen College coach Jeff Zeilstra.

Update on Nov. 10: Brooks put in an excellent performance in his first start, a 7-1 win over The Netherlands. He pitched six shutout innings, held the Dutch to four hits, struck out two, and left the game with a 6-0 lead. Canada's runs came on a home run by Mike Saunders, an RBI by Taylor Green, two RBI by Emerson Frostad, two RBI by Jamie Romak, and an RBI by Nick Weglarz.

Update on Nov. 14: Brooks won't get another start in this tournament, because Canada didn't make it to the next round. See the Baseball Canada press release: Canada Eliminated from World Cup in Controversial Fashion.

Update on Nov. 18: The U.S. won the tournament, defeating Cuba 6-3 in the final. Cuba had won the last nine championships, and the last championship for the U.S. was in 1974.
