SUMMARY: Paytn Monticelli tossed a 5 inning, 14 strikeout perfect game as the Great Britain Women's National Team defeated Ukraine 7-0. GBR's offence was led by Sydney Teague and Katie Burge with a pair of run-scoring hits, with six different Brits tallying hits in the contest.
The game changed when…Patyn Monticelli woke up this morning. A lone groundout to first base was all Ukraine could muster, as the LSU Tiger was dominant in the circle.
Great Britain's top performer was Paytn Monticelli. 65 pitches was all it took for Monticelli to complete her masterpiece, and she now leads the tournament with an ERA of 0.00.
Weather became a factor later on in the day, with the nightcap against the Netherlands rained out.
Next Up: A heavyweight battle with The Netherlands - rescheduled due to rain on Wednesday - will kick off Thursday's action for GBR at 11:00 AM at Eagles Field 2, followed by the Super Round later in the day.
