The highlight of the game
In the qualifying league, the United States was ranked first with 5 wins, and Japan was ranked second with 4 wins and 1 loss.
In the final round of the qualifying league held on the 26th, Japan played against the United States and took the lead, but lost the goodbye 1 to 2.
Japan will save for the final with pitcher Yukiko Ueno and pitcher Miu Goto, who are in great shape in relief, and will face the final against the United States in perfect condition. On the other hand, on the 26th, there was a conspicuous scene in which the three American pitchers were not destroyed and lost to the fastball.
Japan and the United States competed for the gold medal at the Beijing Olympics. In this match, both teams are in good shape with pitchers, so it is expected that they will compete for one point.
