Blu Girls in hot 10-1 opening day win over South Koreans

Power hitting, flawless defense and aggressive base-running gave the Philippine Blu Girls a surprisingly lopsided 10-1 victory over South Korea on Tuesday in Group A, opening their quest for an unprecedented seat in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games in women’s softball.

The Blu Girs pummelled the Koreans with 10 hits, a pair each from second basegirl Skylynne Elleazar, first basegirl Lauren Young and designated playeer Reese Guevarra as they practically shot the lights out of the Shanghai Sports Training Center diamond in scoring their first win in the World Baseball/Softball Confederation qualifying tournament there.
