Description

Greta Cecchetti started for Italy, looking for its first win in the tournament. Lauren Bay-Regula started for Canada, awaiting the results of Mexico–Australia to determine their bronze medal match opponent. In the top of the second, Jenn Gilbert hit a home run to left-center field—her first tournament hit—to put Canada in front 1–0. In the third, Joey Lye tripled to the right field corner and tried to score on the next play, but was thrown out at home by Giulia Longhi on a fielder's choice. Canada increased its lead to 2–0 when Larissa Franklin doubled with two outs to plate Victoria Hayward. In the bottom of the third, Erika Piancastelli singled to center, scoring Laura Vigna for Italy's first and only run of the tournament. Alexia Lacatena relieved Cecchetti in the fifth inning, and Canada added to its lead on a sacrifice fly from Franklin and a single by Jenn Salling, who later scored when a throwing error from Lacatena allowed Erika Polidori to reach safely. In the sixth, Hayward doubled to center field to add two more runs. Another sacrifice fly from Franklin made it 8–1 Canada. Italy could not score in the bottom of the sixth, and the game ended on the Olympics run-ahead rule.
