Softball Canada names women’s team for Tokyo 2020 Wednesday, 19 May 2021
Softball Canada and the Canadian Olympic Committee have nominated Canada’s women’s team for the re-arranged Olympic Games in Tokyo.
The 15 athletes were selected by Softball Canada’s coaching staff.
Canada qualified for Tokyo 2020 at the 2019 WBSC Softball Americas Qualifier held in Surrey, British Colombia by finishing in the top two of the 12-team event along with Mexico. There is no greater privilege than to wear Canada across your chest and represent the most amazing country and fans, said catcher Kaleigh Rafter. For me, this is the last step in a 14-year journey that dates back to 2007.
It has been quite a career ride on the diamond for Mark Smith, from Royal Athletic Park to Yokohama Stadium.The Canadian women’s softball team head coach and former Victoria Budgets pitching star . . .
A special report from the UAA on the Florida Gators softball team:
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – No. 5 Florida defeated Western Kentucky, 5-2, Saturday afternoon at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium. UF turned in five extra-base hits, which included home runs from
Julia Cottrill to help secure the win.
The Gators’ (30-4) first game against the Hilltoppers (15-6) started with a 20-pitch at-bat between right-handed UF starter
Elizabeth Hightower (14-2) and leadoff WKU batter Paige Carter. Hightower won the first meeting between the two as she forced Carter to groundout to Echols at third and then finished the frame to retire the next two batters rather quickly.
