Montería, Colombia – The Quick Story:
Team Canada takes their third Super Round win at the XI Pan American Women’s Softball Championship, defeating Brazil 10–0 in a four-inning run-rule victory. After a scoreless first two innings, Canada’s offence added six runs in the third and four more in the fourth to end the game early. Morgan Rackelearned the win in the circle, while the offence was powered by home runs from Emma Entzminger, Callum Pilgrim, and Grace Messmer.
