Team USA Softball - Canada Cup - June 20-26th

Post by OUBeliever56A »

The first international Team USA Women's softball competition this summer is scheduled to begin today in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. Here is an article from EIS about the competition.

https://extrainningsoftball.com/interna ... anada-cup/

Originally the roster for this tournament included Jocelyn Alo. The article said that the team was in Seattle, Washington on the 17th - 19th for practice before the play begins. I know that Alo played for the Vipers on Friday night (the 17th) in Shawnee, Kansas in her pro debut. I wonder if Alo is actually with Team USA for the tournament.

In the article by EIS it looks like a couple of players have been added to the team. Here is the roster:

Congrats to Team USA! Since Colorado has a team, Patty should have just entered the 2022 OU team, for you know, early fall practice.

Perhaps if Barnard is playing for TC Colorado, maybe that has gotten in the way of her going to the portal and taking a visit here???

I think that OU is focused elsewhere towards players in the portal. I think a new Sooner is introduced soon. We will be happy about the player.

From the other board......"will be an improvement over Johns at 3B" ......wow! that's strong.
I had in my mind that Brito would be moving to third.....so I guess she stays in LF? Kinda hoping Coor would find her bat this summer.....

Agree. I'm hoping the freshmen who sat the bench last season while others of their class got lots of playing time at other programs can hone their skills enough this summer to get their chance for playing time this coming season.

Wednesday's Games for Team USA resulted in two wins by a score of 13-0 win over Czech Republic and Chinese Taipei.

In the Czech Republic game the hitting stars were many. Team USA had 4 doubles and 4 HRs. Jaquish and Flippen had 3 RBIs each. Alo and Jaquish had 2 hits each.

In the circle Aly Carda (3 IP) and Odicci Alexander (1 IP) pitched a no-hitter for Team USA.

The two hitting stars for Team USA was Alo and Flippen. Both hit two HRs. Alo hit a Grand Slam in the 2nd and a 3-run HR in the 3rd innings. Flippen hit a 2-run HR in the 2nd and a solo HR in the 3rd. Malloy and Klingler also had 2 hits each.

Jailyn Ford got the win the circle allowing only 4 hits in her 4 inning shutout.

Alo is 8 for 14 with 2 doubles and 3 HRs with 6 RS and 10 RBIs in four games. She may be causing Coach Tarr to question her selections for the primary Team USA.

Team USA lost to T.C. Colorado again on Saturday. This time the score was 3-2. All of the T.C. Colorado runs came in the 3rd inning. the inning went like this.

Walk, WP
With runner on 2nd, GO to SS
Walk, WP
Walk to load the bases
Single to plate one run, bases still loaded
Error with two runs scoring, runners on 1st and 2nd
Ground out to SS with runners moving to 2nd and 2rd
Strikeout looking.

It looks like Alexander gave up the 3 walks in the inning and Carda relieved to give up the single. The error looks to be on Pleasants at SS.

T.C. Colorado had 1 hit with 0 walks outside of that inning.

Team USA was lead by Flippen and Alo with 2 hits apiece with both hitting solo HRs. Jaquish, Klingler and Palacios each had singles.

- - -

If I have figured this out correctly this is today's schedule.

1. Chinese Taipei plays Netherlands.
2. Winner of (1) plays Team USA. (It looks like the loser of this game is the Bronze Medal winner.)
3. Winner of (2) plays T.C. Colorado (Gold Medal game.)
