U.S. beats Australia, sets up likely title rematch with Japan. Tokyo2020 TeamUSA
Monica Abbott struck out 13 and threw a three-hitter in a 126-pitch complete game, giving up an unearned run when Jade Wall walked on eight pitches with the bases loaded in the top of the eighth to force home the automatic runner.
Janie Reed, the wife of major league reliever Jake Reed, sacrificed for the fourth time in the tournament, putting runners at second and third.She swung at a pitch on the outer half of the plate and singled sharply past a diving Warwick. Wall picked up the ball two steps onto the outfield grass and heaved home, but first baseman Taylah Tsitsikorinis cut off the throw as Carda and McCleney scored standing up.
“Wow! Incredible softball,” Abbott said. “A lot of tense moments. But you live for these moments. You like to compete in these moments.” After scoring just seven runs in four games, the U.S. plays Japan on Monday in a matchup that likely will only determine which team bats last in the gold medal game. No. 2 Japan could clinch a berth in that game when it plays Canada later Sunday.
