It was such an exciting day for Softball fans like me. Yukiko Ueno, the Japanese pitcher, is a superstar. If you live in Japan, you are most likely has seen her in TV.
In the game against Mexico, she pitched well but allowed a tying run in the 7th inning (last inning for Softball). She was replaced by a young relief pitcher, Miu Goto, who at the age of seven saw Ueno led the Japanese team to win a gold medal in 2008 Olympic against USA. Goto shutdown threatening Mexican team for two innings, striking out fives, saving her childhood idol and now a teammate Ueno and the team on Ueno's 39th birth day!
