Verge: Little League World Series teammates Duncan and Piasentin JNT teammates
“Perseverance and passion took two pre-teens with big dreams from the sandlots in BC, to their current positions as teammates for Canada.
Third baseman Tim Piasentin and left hander Sean Duncan both started their baseball careers 20 minutes away from each other at their respective homes in Coquitlam, BC. They practiced at ball fields together growing up, and played in the Little League World Series for Coquitlam in 2019 side by side.
Now, they’re together on the big stage in Panama with the Junior National Team, hopeful of qualifying for the 2025 World Cup.”
