In the 2012 Women’s Baseball World Cup, Japan tops the USA, 3 – 0, in the Gold Medal game for their third straight title. It is the best US finish since 2006. Yukari Isozaki scatters 7 hits in a complete game shutout to improve to 3-0, 0.33 in the Cup and take MVP honors. In the Bronze Medal game, it’s a different story, as host Canada edges Australia in a 17 – 13 slugfest with four RBI apiece from Ashley Stephenson and Stéphanie Savoie and four hits and four runs from Jenna Flannigan. Canada had not gotten a Medal in 2010, the only time they failed to do so in the five Women’s World Cups to this point.
