Canada Rebounds with Win Against the Buffalo Bison



(Surrey, BC)  Team Canada



After losing two of their first three games, Team Canada bounced back to 
defeat the Buffalo Bison 7-0 at the 11th annual Canada Cup International 
Softball tournament.



Canada’s offence kicked into gear in the top of the 1st inning as leadoff 
hitter Kristy Odamura singled, advanced to 2nd on a Rachel Shill hit and 
was driven home by Alison Bradley.  In the 2nd inning Cindy Eadie singled 
and was doubled home by Sasha Olson.  In the 3rd Angela Lichty singled and 
was double home by Alison Bradley to put Canada up 3-0.  Odamura and Schill 
both scored in the 4th.  Schill and Erin White crossed the plate in the 7th 
for the 7-0 victory.



Lauren Bay, pitching competitively for the first time since April, proved 
why she is the ace of Canada’s pitching staff going 4 innings and striking 
9 Bison batters for the win.  Ani Nyhus pitched the final 3 innings, 
striking out 3.  Each pitcher gave up 2 hits.



“We seem to be shaking off some of the rust from not playing”, stated 
Bay.  “We’ve been practicing very hard, but there’s no substitution for 
competition.  There’s a different pace and intensity level in a game and we 
feel that we are making the necessary adjustments to bring our level up to 
where we know it should be.”



Offensively, Alison Bradley continued her torrid hitting pace with 2 hits 
and 2 RBI’s.  Bradley is now hitting .545 for the tournament.  Veteran 
Odamura had her best game offensively in the tournament collecting 2 hits 
and scoring 2 runs.



Canada’s record improves to 2 and 2.  Their next game is against the 
Bloomington Lady Hearts on Wednesday.
