Chilliwack’s Dylan Ohlsen, seen here playing third base last year with the B.C. Premier Baseball League’s Abbotsford Cardinals, represented B.C. at the Canada Summer Games in Winnipeg.

Dylan Ohlsen and the Team B.C. baseball squad were knocked out of contention at the Canada Summer Games, finishing sixth overall in a 10 team field.

The Games started July 28 in Winnipeg.

Team B.C. went 3-3 in pool play, facing Alberta in their July 29 opener.

Playing third base, Ohlsen went one for two with a walk, but his team was beaten badly as Alberta scored a 12-2 win. Ohlsen was back at the hot corner later that day as Team B.C. evened their record with an 8-5 win over Quebec. Ohlsen had a productive outing, banging out a pair of singles, stealing a base and driving in a run.

The teenager had a rough time in a July 30 game vs Saskatchewan, striking out three times. But he got on base once with a walk and came around to score one of Team B.C.’s two runs in a 3-2 loss.

Ohlsen’s crew faced Alberta again July 31 and again coughed up 12 runs in a 12-7 loss. The Chilliwackian picked up a double and an RBI.

Team B.C. finished group play with back-to-back wins over Quebec and Saskatchewan.

Ohlsen had another single and another RBI in the 13-8 defeat of Quebec and delivered a single and a run in a 2-1 victory over Saskatchewan.

Team B.C., third in group A, faced Ontareio, second in group B, in a Thursday morning quarter-final. Ohlsen banged out a double, but his team was eliminated from gold-medal contention with a 3-1 loss.

The team wrapped up the tournament Thursday morning with a 7-3 win over Quebec.
