Great Britain has just made the biggest accomplishment in team history as in their first year of contention in the World Baseball Classic they earned their first victory in the tournament with a 7-5 win over Colombia. The plucky bunch of ball players were aided by former Toronto draft pick and current Pittsburgh Pirates prospect, Chavez Young.
The British squad started tournament play against team USA, and despite taking an early lead, were out done by the American squad. They once again found themselves up against team Canada early, before being eventually trounced 18-8. Young did impress individually in that game, as he was able to steal three bases and score on three times as well.
