The women put up a solid effort, losing in the medal round to Australia but the men didn't make it that far. At least the Jays won.
The women's softball team finished in 4th with a gutsy effort from Lauren Bay-Regula who threw a complete game but appears to have been left in too long (5 runs allowed has to be one of her worst results). Still, at least they got that far. The men are showing some life, going into extra innings against Taiwan.
The men were trailing 1-0, then leading 2-1, then trailing 5-2, then tied it 5-5 in the 7th, failed to score in the 11th (where they start with runners on first and second base). The game is over now with Taiwan scoring in the 12th inning with the final 3 for Canada striking out with runners on 1st and 2nd, leaving Canada in 5th place (tied with Taiwan but get 5th slot due to run differential - Canada +9 vs Taiwan -4). Japan was the only team to allow fewer runs than Canada but only China and the Netherlands scored fewer (Japan outscored Canada by 1). But of course, if Richmond was there he'd have thrown two shutouts and put Canada into the medal rounds right?
As to the Jays, a 2-1 win over the Yankees is always fun - especially when it comes via an error ... er ... double. Just adds salt into the Yankees 2008 wounds.
