Australia goes down to classy Japan in Olympic Opener
Published Wed 21 Jul 2021
After starting strong and opening the scoring in the top of the first inning, the Spirit will rue missed chances, leaving seven runners on base throughout the game.
Michelle Cox scored the opening run after Japan’s superstar pitcher Yukiko Ueno looked vulnerable, walking two batters in the Australian line-up leading to loaded bases in the top of the first and the potential for the Spirit to take a commanding lead.
However, Ueno, arguably the world’s best pitcher, quickly found a rhythm and held the Spirit to the single run.
