-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For Immediate release: July 4, 2007 Going into the final day of pool play, Team Canada Softball is currently tied with Japan for 1st place in the red pool at the 2007 Canada Cup International Softball Tournament. For the fourth time in five games the Canadian team was able to hit double digits in hits for the game with a stellar 16 hit performance this evening against the Venezuela national team. A number of players contributed to the hit parade including a three for three night for Melanie Matthews, a two for two night for Erin McLean, and a two hit performance by Noemie Marin. In all, twelve different players hit safely while facing three different pitchers from the visiting side. Winning pitcher Danielle Lawrie went the distance for Team Canada giving up 1 run on two hits while striking out five in her six innings of work. We are here to prepare ourselves for the upcoming Pan Am Games so having the opportunity to play a Pan Am opponent is huge in our preparation states Head Coach Lori Sippel. I feel that the team adjusted well to the different pitchers which will ultimately give us confidence should we meet again in Rio. The game ended in the sixth inning on the run rule, when Team Canada scored its eight run of the evening. Final score of Wednesdays contest was 8-1 in favour of the red and white. Canada now is 5-0 in the Red pool. A showdown for 1st place going into the playoffs will take place Thursday night at 6:30 pm at Softball City in White Rock/Surrey, British Columbia.
