Subject: Gold medal still in reach Media Release 30 June 2007 Gold medal still in reach The Australian Under 19 Womens team, Aussie Pride, are through to the Bronze Medal match at the VIII ISF Junior Womens World Championship in Enschede, Netherlands. The Aussies got over the line against Puerto Rico 1-0 in yesterday's play and then defeated Venezuela this morning, 3-0, to advance through to the medal game. In what was described as the best game played in the tournament, Australia dominated against Venezuela in the batting box from the start of the game, hitting the ball hard at every turn at bat. Kaia Parnaby pitched the win for Australia conceding only one hit in the seventh innings of play. Monica Gray was the top hitter for the game getting two hits and batting in two runners to help Australia secure the win. Nicole Deegenaars scored Australias first run in the bottom of the second innings. Brooke Spence and Ashleigh Deen came home with the help of their team mates in the bottom of the sixth innings to increase their lead. Aussie Pride will take on Japan tonight in the Bronze Medal game at 7.00pm (AEST), with the loser taking home the Bronze Medal. The winner will meet the USA in the Gold Medal game at 10.00pm (AEST). ____________________________________ DiAnne Lilburn National Communications Coordinator Softball Australia Suite 4, Ground Floor 38-40 Prospect Street Box Hill, Victoria 3128 T: +61 3 9890 8200 F: +61 3 9890 8295 M: +61 (0) 405 509 674 For more information visit www.softball.org.au _____________________________________________________________________________ Did you know that Australia is the world's number one softball nation?
