U.S. Softball win streak snapped at 22

Softball: Jennifer Yee hit a two-run home run and Melanie Matthews doubled in two more runs as Canada snapped the United States’ 22-game winning streak at the World Cup of Softball with a 5-2 victory night in a game that had more than three hours of rain delays in Oklahoma City.

The U.S. pitching staff hadn’t allowed a run or an extra-base hit in 28 innings at this year’s World Cup before Matthews laced a double through the infield that got past right-fielder Kaitlin Cochran. That started a five-run third inning for the Canadians (2-3), the most runs allowed in a World Cup game by the Americans – let alone an inning.

The Americans are still locked into tonight’s championship game.
