MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica -- Canada booked a World Cup ticket with a 5-0 win against Jamaica at the CONCACAF Under-17 Womens Championship on Thursday. Marie-Mychele Metivier, Emily Borgmann, Jessie Fleming, Sarah Kinzner and Marie Levasseur scored for Canada, which advanced to the CONCACAF final Saturday. Theyll face Mexico, who earlier knocked out the United States 4-2 on penalty kicks to also earn a World Cup spot. The win also earned Canada a berth at the FIFA U-17 Womens World Cup next year in Costa Rica. Canada is the only CONCACAF nation to have qualified for all four editions of the World Cup. "Im really happy," said Canadas coach Beverly Priestman. "The girls stuck to our game plan and deserve the win." Metivier opened the scoring just four minutes into the match on a hot evening at Catherine Hall Stadium. Her shot was deflected off a defender into the net, giving her a tournament-leading six goals. Canada would strike again in the 27th minute, when Borgmann collected a pass from fellow attacker Marie Levasseur to guide the ball across the line. Priestman said it was the second goal that gave Canada the momentum they needed. "We knew that we had to put a few away to take the momentum of the game and quiet the crowd," she said. Three minutes later, Fleming made it 3-0 with a shot into the top of the net from outside of the 18-yard box. Kinzner scored her first of the tournament in the 48th minute. Racing to collect a pass from Fleming she out-battled her defender, stretching for the ball and directing it past Jamaicas on-rushing keeper. Levasseur capped the scoring with a long shot that beat the keeper in the 70th minute. . Jamies number grades given are out of five, with five being the best mark.

Still, when he came up in the 11th inning against his former teammates, he had an idea what he wanted to do. When the Mets switched their approach, he adjusted and came through. Byrd reached low and away to slice an RBI double just inside the right field line in the 11th, leading the Philadelphia Phillies over New York 3-2 Friday night in a game of many squandered opportunities. "Hes got a great mentality for that. Hes always on the positive side and hes always up there," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. "Hell grind it out. Hell grind out a game and thats what he demonstrates." Chase Utley had three hits and scored all the Phillies runs, two on singles by Domonic Brown, to help Philadelphia end a four-game skid and beat the Mets for the first time in six meetings. Carlos Torres (2-2), the seventh Mets pitcher, gave up a one-out double to Utley and intentionally walked Ryan Howard. Byrd, who played for the Mets last season, was able to go with the pitch for the opposite-field hit. "Had some tough at-bats early," Byrd said after striking out three times and walking twice before getting his big hit. "The good thing is I know the guys over there, know what theyre trying to do. They changed it up on me a little bit with Carlos. It was just one of those things." The Phillies left the bases loaded in the inning, only fitting as the teams combined to strand 32 runners on a damp night in a game that took 4 hours, 39 minutes. Jonathan Papelbon earned his 10th save. Mario Hollands (1-1) got his first big league win. The Mets returned home after a 2-6 road trip that ended with a three-game sweep at the hands of the Marlins and a 23-inning scoreless streak. They quickly ended the drought on Curtis Grandersons RBI double in the first but then reverted to their struggling ways until the eighth, when David Wright doubled in the tying run off Antonio Bastardo. New York loaded the bases in each of the first two innings against Roberto Hernandez. The Mets also put two runners on in three other innings, including the fifth when they had second and third with no outs after shortsstop Jimmy Rollins throwing error on a potential double-play ball.dddddddddddd Still, they mostly came up empty. New York left 15 on base, a season high, and went 1 for 11 with runners in scoring position. "You need a groundball up the middle, you need a flyball, you need to put the ball in play someplace to add on runs, to score the big runs, and everybody works at it every day," Mets manager Terry Collins said. While the Mets wasted opportunity after opportunity, the Phillies were hardly better in their first game since Toronto swept four from them in a home-and-home interleague series. Philadelphia stranded 17 at Citi Field and couldnt capitalize on 11 walks -- three intentional. Brown and Utley teamed in the third and fifth against Jenrry Mejia to give the Phillies a 2-1 lead. Utley led off the third with a double and advanced to third on Howards fly to left. After a walk to Byrd, Brown fisted a soft liner the opposite way to left to tie it 1-all. Brown drove in Utley in the fifth with another hit dunked into left field. Mejia gave up two runs and six hits in 4 2-3 innings. He walked three, hit a batter with a pitch and struck out four. Hernandez laboured through five innings, giving up a run while stranding 10. "Hernandez battled from a second and third no outs, which was big at the time," Sandberg said. Mets fans got excited in the third when Mejias weak fly to left looked as though it had a chance of dropping. Instead, a charging Brown made the catch to leave New York pitchers 0 for 59 this season.
