She bobbled Saku Yamazaki's leadoff grounder to third, and following a sacrifice and Hitomi Kawabata's single, Yamazaki scored on Aubree Munro's passed ball. Japan rested Yukiko Ueno -- the year-old who beat the U. Fujita and catcher Yukiyo Mine lost track of the outs, starting to run off the field after Michelle Moultrie struck out for the second out of the third. Fujita, 30, a right-hander who had pitched just once before in the tournament, didn't allow a hit until Haylie McCleney an Olympics-best 9-for singled to left leading off the sixth.
Janie Reed, whose husband, Jake, was claimed by the Tampa Bay Rays off waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers earlier in the day, reached on an infield hit with a bouncer to shortstop for just her second hit in 13 at-bats, and Valerie Arioto hit a two-out RBI single.

Larissa Franklin drove in three runs for Canada , which headed to a bronze-medal game against Australia or Mexico. Lawrie, 34, sister of former major leaguer Brett Lawrie, allowed an unearned run and four hits in three innings.
Regula , 39, sister of retired former All-Star Jason Bay, struck out five in three hitless innings. Jen Gilbert, 29, who had been hitless in seven at-bats, had a go-ahead home run over the center-field cameras in the second. Franklin hit an RBI double in the third, and errors by shortstop Joey Lye and reliever Alexia Lacatena led to three unearned runs in the fifth, which included Franklin's first sacrifice fly and an RBI single by Jenn Salling, who is 7-for Victoria Hayward hit a two-run double in the sixth, and Franklin followed with another sacrifice fly.
The 1 batter is often a speedy outfielder. Mookie Betts of the Los Angeles Dodgers is a perfect lead-off batter. They are fast, but they can also hit for power. Not too long ago, this was a batter who was fast, almost like the lead-off batter. Now, the ideal number-two batter is someone like Mike Trout — fast and powerful. This batter is often an outfielder, but could also be a third-baseman or shortstop who can hit with some power.
The first three batters will have more at-bats throughout the season that anyone else on the team. The third batter should be the best hitter on the team, unless the manager wants that hitter in the two hole. The third batter is often the person who ends up with the most RBI because hopefully, the first two batters become baserunners who score when the number three hitter sees the right pitch.
The fourth batter might not get as many at-bats as the top of the lineup, but if the top three batters do their jobs and get on base, the fourth batter can have some serious fun. They can drive in runs and hit for extra-bases. When it comes to baseball, men like Albert Pujols of the Los Angeles Angels define the clean-up batter. Home-run-hitter-extraordinaire, Khris Davis, of the Oakland Athletics is another good choice. Softball players can hit home runs, too, so your number four batter should be the one who hits the most of them.
This batter is often the first or third baseman, or the player who is the designated hitter DH in baseball or the designated player DP in softball.
