Flashlight is not good model to test sun light hit earth. The light of flashlight is too small energy to compare sun light.
What damage would a baseball size meteor cause to earth?
If a baseball size meteor entered our atmosphere, it would get burned up and not hit the ground. Most meteors that strike the Earth hit at around 20 km/s, therefore if a baseball sized meteor actually hit the ground, it would release roughly 10^9 joules of energy. That's roughly equal to the energy released by the explosion of 1000 kg of TNT.

Did a meteor hit Canada?
Yes, every day. Most of them are pretty small; the average meteor that you see in the sky is the size of a grain of rice or smaller. Bigger one do land occasionally.
