Australia dominates in last game of series

 

The Australian Open Women’s team, Aussie Spirit, won the final
game of the Sydney series of the China Australia Challenge at
Blacktown Olympic Park tonight. 

 

Jocelyn McCallum (Qld), 22 years old, pitched the win for Australia,
facing 24 Chinese batters with five strike-outs. The youngsters
gave up only four hits and one run for the game to help Australia
win 2-1. 

 

In the top of the fourth innings, Kerry Wyborn (NSW) helped Australia
get their first run on the board, hitting a single 

to left field, scoring her team mate Sandra Allen (Qld).  

 

Tracey Mosley (Qld) was hit by a pitched delivered by China’s
Lan Wang and was awarded base. Mosley scored Australia’s second
run after Danielle Stewart (Qld) scored a double to left field.
 

 

Guo Jia scored China’s first, and only run, for the game in style
with a home run over the head of centre field player Belinda
Wright. 

 

Australia had six hits and made no errors in the field to help
them secure the win.  

 

The six game, two part series, saw Australia and China win three
games each in some action packed softball, winning one series
each.
