So it was not a fluke. Mexico beating Team USA was not a once-a-day thing.

If the members of Canada's national women's baseball team had any jitters heading into its first game of the Women's Baseball World Cup Qualifiers on Tuesday night, they sure didn't show it. The squad overcame both its on-field opposition and a lengthy rain delay to beat Mexico at Baseball Central in Thunder Bay, Ont. It was good. Canada starting pitcher Raine Padgham kept a brisk, three-up-three-down pace for the first three innings. In fact, she didn't allow Mexico a hit or a baserunner until the fourth inning. In the meantime, Canada had got on the board early, picking up runs in the first and third innings to take a lead.

Mexico's Luis Cruz fielded Robinson's bunt and gestured as if to tell his pitcher, Arnold Leon, to hit the next batter. That was Rene Tosoni, and after two close pitches and warning from the home plate umpire, Tosoni was plunked. That's when things turned ugly. Several coaches and players from both teams who were on the field in remain with Mexico and Canada. Here are their looks back on the moment. You know, I try not to think about it. But sometimes things happen.
