Edmonton's Madison Willan hit a three-run homer as Canada's women's baseball team beat host Mexico 11-1 to capture the bronze medal on Sunday at a World Cup qualifying tournament.

Ellie and Carrie Jespersen have been playing baseball their entire lives with one goal in mind: to wear the maple leaf and play for Team Canada on the world stage.

Edmonton's Nicole Luchanski had three extra-base hits and drove in two, and Amanda Asay of Prince George, B.C., pitched seven strong innings as Canada beat the Netherlands 7-1 on Monday to lock up a spot in the super round at the women's baseball World Cup.
