YOKOHAMA, Japan (Reuters) -Canada, Japan and United States on Saturday emerged as the softball gold medal contenders at Tokyo 2020 after wins that knocked Italy, Mexico and in all probability Australia out of contention in the six-team tournament.
Mexico and Australia stumbled to losses with fielding errors and bungled opportunities. The United States defeated Mexico 2-0 on a bobbled ball and Canada took advantage of two throwing errors to hammer Australia 7-1.
