CASTIONS DI STRADA, ITALY – Callum Pilgrim literally touched ’em all on Saturday.
The talented Abbotsford, B.C., outfielder hit a walk-off grand slam in the 11th inning, giving Canada an 11-7 come-from-behind victory over the Netherlands in the bronze-medal final at the 2024 WBSC Women’s Softball World Cup.
Catcher Natalie Wideman of Mississauga, Ont., ignited the Canada comeback in the bottom of the sixth inning, hitting a three-run homer to tie the contest at 5-5.
The teams exchanged single runs in the eighth and 10th innings, setting the stage for Pilgrim’s heroics in the 11th.
Canada had three walk-off wins at this year’s World Cup.
Canada lost 7-2 to Japan on Friday in semifinal action.
