Not sure where to post this, so I’ll move it if needed.

For those interested, the journey back began yesterday, with games in Chicago vs the Bandits and the Pride. Three more games are on tap for today and tomorrow. There is free live streaming. So tune in and watch!

 Which Asian team is our biggest threat in Tokyo? 

Don't know,  probably Japan who defeated us for gold medal in '08 (final year before discontinued).

Japan also defeated us in the '18 International Cup.

And they're hosting the damn Olympics. I bet it will be us and them playing for gold. See y'all next summer!

It's really unfortunate that this team is what the selection committee decided to put on the field to represent the USA. I guess it should come as no surprise that they would not select the best players when you consider they picked Ken F'n Eriksen to coach them.  The fact that Amanda Lorenz has been the best player in America for the last 4 years and didn't get an invite to tryouts should tell everyone all they need to know. Now Ken has taken the group on some barnstorming tour to battle the professional women, and the NWT is getting their asses beat by girls who didn't even get to tryout for the team. This could be a very embarrassing Olympic games for the USA.

Ericksen is so overrated.

Does Team USA still boycott anyone who plays for the NPF? 

Ericksen is a yes man for ASA softball....going so far as to only recruit at ASA tournaments.  He is absolutely useless

For anyone interested.

Looks like there will not be any Live Streaming from Japan, but you can follow on Twitter. Games are at  11PM Central Sat & Sun, and 5AM Central Tuesday. 

USA drops 6-4 decision to Japan in opener of Japan All Star Series.    Can't find a boxscore.     Carda is a former UCLA player.  Ricketts also struggled.

 

Delaney Spaulding (Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.) led off the second inning by getting hit by a pitch to put the leadoff batter on base and advanced to second on a grounder back to the pitcher. Tagging up on a fly ball to the right fielder, Spaulding was able to reach third with two outs before a walk to Aubree Munro (Brea, Calif.) put runners on the corners. An RBI single up the middle by Kelsey Stewart (Wichita, Kan.) quickly gave the Americans an early 1-0 lead.

Team USA tacked on another two runs to their lead in the top of the third inning courtesy of a Spaulding two-run shot, but that lead would be erased in the bottom half of the inning. A leadoff walk and single put two on for Japan, prompting a pitching change as Ally Carda (Elk Grove, Calif.) replaced U.S. starter Keilani Ricketts (San Jose, Calif.). A walk to the next batter loaded the bases, but Ali Aguilar (Orangevale, Calif.) fired a ground ball from second to Munro at home for the first out of the inning and a strikeout kept all runners at bay. A wild pitch plated the first run of the game for Japan and a single to right field allowed another two runs to cross the plate, tying the game up at three runs apiece.

In the bottom of the fourth inning, a pair of home runs proved costly for the Red, White and Blue. With two outs, a two-run home run followed by a solo shot put the home team up by three runs after four complete innings

Carda suffered the loss for Team USA, issuing one strikeout, two walks and four earned runs in her two innings of work in the circle. Ricketts struck out one batter with five walks and two earned runs in four innings.

USA vs China

I don’t know about you all, but I’m watching the first game today, with a slightly vested interest! 🙃

Cats leads Team USA over China, 1-0.    Can't find a boxscore.

Still gets the same run support 15 years later. Impressive

Arioto had the RBI. Cat struck out 12

I’ll be watching tonight at 6PM Central, on ESPN2! Will you? 

☺️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🥎🥎🥎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Cat had 12 K against Chinese Taipei 

Cat's drop ball looked as dominant as ever and the team hits about as well as every other Ken Eriksen coached team. The lineups that he rolls out and the group of kids that he hand picked are perplexing to say the least. Don't worry about finding a box score. Cat struck out 12 and Team USA mustered 1 run against a team they should've beaten by 10.

And again last night lol

Look we lost to Japan again 

Team USA defeats Mexico and Puerto Rico by identical scores, 7-0.

Championship game: 11AM, Sunday, ESPN, vs Japan.    Based on the pitching rotation in the past 3 games,   seems Cat will start  ?

Championship game, 11:00AM Central, today Sunday on ESPN.

I’d tune in if you are a fan! If you are also following soccer, get two TVs! 

One hit by Japan so far has been a HR off Cat. 1-0 Japan b4

Monica really wants to beat these Japs because she plays with them every year. 

Excellent job

Cat needs a better # than 38. 

I stand by this. 

Canada 3  US 2

Cat took the loss, 3 runs, 6 hits in 3.1 innings.

 

vs PR today,  winner plays Canada for championship,  also today.

US 3  Canada 1      US wins PanAm Gold. 

Defeated PR earlier 3-1.   Monica Abbott pitched both games (14 inn).      Unusual,  possible player illness ?   They have 4 other pitchers,  one being Keilani Ricketts.
