Back on the winners list today thanks to a great middle relief performance by Loz McGrath. She was outstanding in keeping us in the game.
Another great day at the plate for Kreppold and Lovering.
Still some work to do, haven't quite gt to where we need to be yet. Hoping it comes soon! Venezuela tomorrow, a must win if we want to make the final four.

Hey Dodge, nothing has been confirmed as far as the actual injury - but unfortunately she is done for the tournament. Had some tests and stuff yesterday, but will need to confirm with an MRI on her return to Australia.
Real loss to the team, she was hitting really well, and she always brings a lot to the group.
Tough game this morning against Venezuela, a must win to keep hopes of finals alive.

Good win today against Venezuela, Bronny Gell and Tahlia Wellington doing most of the damage with 7 hits between them.
Barclay picking up the win with three good innings of work.
The girls are pumped for the game against Japan tomorrow. We need at least one more win to get through to the final four on the weekend.

After a tough loss to Japan yesterday (mercy rule in 6th), we got up today over Taipei, taking the game 11 nil. Wasn't the first round we had hoped for, and makes it tough now finishing fourth as we will play Japan tomorrow for a spot in the gold medal game.
Mandi, unfortunately we confirmed today that Laura Neads has done her ACL. She's a great player and person, so wishing her all the best when she gets home from Canada and gets started on the rehab/recovery.
Game time against Japan is 3pm Canadian time tomorrow (i'm guessing early Sunday morning for you guys). No doubt it will be on youtube. Hopefully we can put on a better display this time around.

good luck to all the girls for the game and all the best to laura, hopefully she can come back from her injury With you on this Mandi. Lulu a great chick and wish her the best on her recovery. Massive loss for Aust both with the bat and on the hill. Unfair for any player who has put in a huge amount of work in preparation for this World Cup.

A very tough day at the ballpark today, losing 5-1 to the in form Japanese Team.
The girls held it well for a few innings, but a couple of mistakes in the field let Japan into the game, and they never gave us an inch. Under pressure we just couldn't get it done in the end.
One more game tomorrow v Canada for the bronze medal. The Canadians got rolled 17-4 tonight against USA. Should be a good game tomorrow. Britney Hepburn with the start.

A Bronze behind USA and Japan would be an honourable effort Simone - good luck Vs Canada.

Aus girls finish 4th after going down to Canada this morning 17-14.
Japan beat USA 3-0 to take the World Cup.
Interesting note that the Japanese starter threw the semi final against Australia throwing 7 innings for 1 run, then backed up and threw the final against the USA for another 7 innings shutting them out.
