Verge: Mia Valcke seeks second bronze at World Cup Saturday at Thunder Bay
A high pressure ball game for Canada with a bronze medal on the line is deja vu for Mia Valcke.
“Six years ago, Canada’s starting outfielder was a key part of them leaving the Women’s World Cup with bronze. Valcke (St Marys, Ont.) hit .500 with an RBI to help Canada to a win over Team USA in extras.
Fast forward to Saturday, and Valcke will be back on the diamond for Canada in a bronze medal game against Mexico, this time on home soil at Port Arthur Stadium in Thunder Bay. First pitch is 11 a.m. E.T.”
