Seven minutes later, Harris again increased the lead with a powerful corner dragged shot.
Barbados did their best to advance, but their only got a penalty corner which finished without consequences.
In the last minute, Daniel Jordan put his team 3-0 ahead with a powerful shot.
Early in the second half, an explosive rush by the US captain finished in the fourth goal, when Harris beat the Caribbean goalie Lyndell Francis with a strong shot, in the 37th minute.
But like the match between Argentina and Jamaica, the Barbadians also had their reward netting from a penalty corner through Aaron Forde, four minutes later.
From then on, Barbados, led by Laurando Davis, reacted pushing the United States towards their back line, but their advances - they got two penalty corners - were well saved by the back row and keeper Jebediah Saez.
