The USA national softball team knocked off the USA junior national team 6-1, 11-0 in the much-anticipated fast-pitch softball doubleheader last Wednesday night at Salem Memorial Ballpark.
Nearly 3,000 fans watched as the experienced national team easily wore down the juniors with a combination of superior pitching and talented glove work that kept the crowd entertained.
The national team last appeared in Salem in 2008, when the pre-Olympic “Road to Beijing” tour played at Kiwanis Field in front of over 4,100 fans and included high-profile players Jennie Finch and Cat Osterman.
