The Junior National Team lost 6-2 to the Los Angeles Dodgers DSL squad in Dominican Professional Academy Camp action on Saturday.
Kadyn Armitage (Surrey, B.C.) led the Canadian offence with a 1-for-3 performance, including a sixth-inning single that helped spark a two-run frame. Maxime Blain (Repentigny, Que.) added the only other hit for the Canadians.
On the mound, Max Nantais-Vlahovich (Mississauga, Ont.) turned in a strong start, striking out seven over three scoreless innings.
Logan Cummins (Mississauga, Ont.) followed with a solid relief appearance that included a pair of strikeouts, while Ethan Reason (Stouffville, Ont.) had another strong outing out of the bullpen, registering a strikeout and picking off a runner in the eighth inning.
Defensively, catcher Rhys Whiteford (Duncan, B.C.) threw out three runners attempting to steal.
The Junior National Team will practice on Sunday before facing off against the San Francisco Giants DSL squad to close out the two-game mini-series of the camp.
