Jessie Knight brought home the medal on the final leg after Laviai Nielsen, Ama Pipi and Emily Diamond had put the team in a strong position.
They finished behind winners Cuba and the second-placed hosts Poland, recording a time of three minutes and 29.27 seconds.
“There were about four of us who got the baton at the same time and I think I got overly excited,” Knight said.
“I just went for it, which to be honest in relay running, you’ve got to do. I got to about 250m winning and I felt really good, but I could just feel the pressure coming.
“It’s the best I could do and I’m really glad I gave it a good go.”
