SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Daniel Zargoza singled home Raul Leon in the bottom of the sixth inning as Mexico beat Canada, 1-0, to open Little League World Series play on Friday.
Zargoza tripled to right to lead off the sixth and scored on the next at-bat, leaving Canada starting pitcher Matthew Wilkinson with a no-decision.
Wilkinson struck out 16 before leaving at the 85-pitch limit after 5 shutout innings.
Mexico reached base 6 times off Wilkinson, twice on walks, twice on hits, one hit batsman, and one dropped third strike in the fifth that allowed the extra strikeout situation.
Zargoza also pitched 5 shutout innings, striking out 10 and allowing 3 hits.
Mexico advances to the winner's bracket and will play the winner of Friday night's Japan vs. Taiwan game, while Canada will await the loser of that game.
