Description

Japan returned to Yukiko Ueno to start its fourth tournament game, while Canada started Sara Groenewegen. Groenewegen pitched three innings, allowing three hits and striking out two before Jenna Caira took over through the fourth. After Haruka Agatsuma walked and Mana Atsumi grounded out, Danielle Lawrie came in to pitch for Canada and recorded two ground outs to escape unharmed. Ueno, meanwhile, allowed four hits and struck out four batters in six innings; Miu Goto took over in the seventh and struck out the side. In the bottom of the seventh, Eri Yamada singled and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt. After pinch-hitter Sayaka Mori reached first on an error by shortstop Janet Leung, Lawrie intentionally walked Nodoka Harada and induced a line out from Yuka Ichiguchi to end Japan's threat and send the game to extra innings. In the top of the eighth, Moto again struck out the side. Japan began the eighth with Minori Naito at second base, and she advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt. Canada intentionally walked two batters to load the bases; Japan sent Hitomi Kawabata to third to run for Naito. Yamada ended the game by singling to center, plating Kawabata. With the win, Japan qualified for the gold medal match. Canada's loss sent the United States to the gold medal match as well to face Japan.
