Abbott Pitches Perfect Game

[Martin]

Monica Abbott was perfect and Mendoza, Bustos and Flowers homered in a mercy-ruled 8-0 game that lasted 5 innings.

The play of the game might have been Laura Berg's diving catch in RF to preserve the perfect game.

I haven't seen Berg getting much playing time this year. I watched the USA team play 4 or 5 games this year and I have never seen Berg play once. Perfect game in the Olympics thats not to bad.

I just hope Laura Berg can teach that play to our outfielders this year at the Force

As I'm watching the games they post the pitch speeds under the score(top left).
What is the speed measured in? its blurry on that part of my screen.

km/h

The 100 kph seems to be around average for the chinese that I watched last night, and that equates to about 62.15 mph. 1 mile equals .6215 km.

Based on USA's 9-run 1st inning, I would guess that was 62mph without much movement.

On to the semis!

Here is the format, as described in SPY:

"Two semi-final games will be played on Wednesday. At 930, the first seed USA will play the second seed, Japan. At noon, the third seed Australia will play the fourth seed, probably Canada. At 5pm, the Bronze medal game will be played – the loser of the 930am 1v2 game against the winner of the noon game. The Grand Final (Gold) game will be played Thursday at 630pm between the winner of the 1v2 game and the winner of the 5pm Wednesday game. The process is called the Page system, and is used in all ISF tournaments."

Interesting format.
