David Bednar Escapes Bases-Loaded-Style Danger to Preserve USA Lead

Canada put runners on second and third with nobody out in the seventh, threatening to erase USA’s shrinking cushion. Bednar slammed the door, getting Josh Naylor to pop out before striking out Tyler O’Neill and Owen Caissie to end the inning. The escape kept USA ahead 5-3 and halted Canada’s momentum after Bo Naylor’s earlier two-run homer.
