SUMMARY: Great Britain opened the WBSC Softball World Cup - Group Lima on Tuesday, 14 July (15 July in Britain) with a 9-1, 6 inning loss to Japan. Tia Warsop tallied a pair of hits and scored GBR’s run, while Georgina Corrick and Paytn Monticelli featured in the circle for the British side.
The game changed…every time Tia Warsop came to the plate. She was the catalyst for Great Britain’s offence, with a pair of hits, a stolen base, and scoring the lone GBR run.
Great Britain’s top performer was Tia Warsop, scoring the only run for Great Britain in the game and with tight work in the outfield.
Kaitlyn Parisi also receives a notable mention, hitting an infield single on her Senior debut with the first ever pitch thrown to her - and coming off Olympic gold-medalist Miu Goto as well.
Next up: Great Britain play Peru at Villa María del Triunfo Sports Complex tomorrow, with first pitch scheduled for 14:00 PET/20:00 BST.
