Three Canberrans have been picked for Australia's under-23 World Cup squad to play in Colombia later this month.
Catcher Mitchell Edwards, and pitchers Jake Green and Jason Lott were named in the 24-man squad that has its first game of the tournament against Venezuela on October 19.
They'll also play Korea, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and the Czech Republic in the group stage, with the top three sides progressing to the super round.

Australia won the silver medal in 2016.
Team Australia general manager Glenn Williams said members of the squad could form part of plans for 2020 Olympic Games qualification.
"Weve retained a number of key athletes from our 2016 campaign, and added some new faces with experience at the international level," he said.
"With many of these athletes keen to feature in our broader plan for 2020 Olympic qualification, were excited to see how they handle the high-pressure moments that international baseball throws up."
