Ontario steamrolled through the round-robin, outscoring its opponents 58-13 on its way to a 9-0 record. Ontario had not even trailed until its final round-robin game, when it rallied to score a run in each of the last two innings to edge the host Manitoba 6-5. Benn scored the winning run in that game, leading off the bottom of the seventh with a base hit and coming around to score on a twoout single. After scoring at least four runs in each of its games, Ontario was held to just four hits in a 3-1 loss to B.C, which earned a spot in the goldmedal game with the win.
