USA Softball Put To The Test




USA Softball needed nine innings, but was able to beat Japan by a score of 4-1. Crystl Bustos hit a three-run homer almost out of the stadium to give the United States their 22 straight win in the Olympics and one more win until they get another gold medal.

This is why they play the game. Japan stuck with the United States squad for 8 innings before losing in the ninth inning. This is how it can happen sometimes so you really never know until the game is over.

USA Softball Make It 21 In A Row




USA Softball continues to dominate as they earned their 21st straight win as they down China by a score of 9-0 and scored all nine runs with two outs in the first inning. Cat Osterman help shutdown China as the United States head to the medal round.

Most people think the United States will easily win the Gold Medal and that should be true, but you never know. Softball can be weird sometimes so do not always count on that. You still have to play the game as you never know what could happen in the end. It does look good for the United States though.

Jennie Finch Powers Team USA Softball To Easy Win




There is no wonder why the Olympic Committee wants to get rid of fast pitch softball in the Olympics the United States is way to dominate. Jennie Finch pitched a complete game against Taiwan on a way to an easy 7-0 win. This marked the United States 19th straight win in Olympic competition.

Most people in other countries will not be sad to see this Olympic sport go as the United States in recent years have owned it. I will be sad when it does leave as many girls dream about a chance to play in the Olympics and now they will not have a chance. It is a real shame.

The Cat Tosses No-Hitter For Team USA Softball




Cat Osterman tossed a gem of a game as Team USA Softball beat Australia by a score of 3-0 to run their record to 16 straight wins in Olympic competition. Oh did I mention that Cat also threw a no-hitter in the process. It seems that USA Softball is hitting on all cylinders right now and they will be very tough to beat. The run up to the Olympics they played some tough competition to get them ready for Olympic play and nothing is slowing them down right now.

Team USA Softball knows this could be the last time softball is an Olympic sport so they want to savor every moment they have. If they lost the gold medal it won't be because they did not leave it on the field. This team is going to be hard to beat, but like anything you really never know. When you talk abut the Olympics anything is possible and you must play hard in every game.

USA Softball Roll Over Venezuela 11-0




The USA softball team was nervous before their opener against Venezuela, but you would have never noticed that by their performance. Jennie Finch pitch 4 innings of no hit softball and Catlin Lowe hit an inside the park home run to ignite the USA squad. Many people think that this is the best team yet that Team USA Softball has assembled and they could be right.

The Gold medal is what they want and the way they are playing it looks like it will be in their grasp in no time. They have dominating pitching and some great hitters, but you still have to play the game so you really never know.
