PH Blu Girls enter Super Round

The Philippine women’s softball team engaged the higher ranked New Zealand squad into a defensive game and prevailed, 1-0, to earn a spot in the Super Round (final four) at the WBSC Softball Asia/Oceania Qualifier on Thursday at the Shanghai Chongming Sports Training Center.

With the score tied at zero-all in the bottom of the sixth inning, the Blu Girls committed back-to-back catching errors and barely missed a double play in the next play to send New Zealand’s Mareana Makea in scoring position at third base.
