U.S. Softball Team Continues To Roll With Shutout Over The Netherlands
Monica Abbott pitched five perfect innings, Crystl Bustos, Jessica Mendoza and Tairia Flowers homered and the U.S. Olympic softball team extended its winning streak to 20 with an 8-0 win over the Netherlands.
The U.S. (6-0) needed just 70 minutes to finish off the Dutch (0-6), first-time Olympians who couldn’t handle Abbott’s fastball and were saved an uglier drubbing by the international run-rule. The left-hander retired all 15 batters, striking out eight.
Seeking their fourth straight gold medal, the Americans have now outscored the opposition 44-1 in the tournament.
Bustos and Mendoza have four homers and the U.S. has connected for 12, setting a new Olympic record. On Monday, the Americans will play China (2-4).
