Hong Kong stuck with the Australian Emeralds for two innings, however an unprecedented offensive explosion saw the Emeralds score 22 runs in the third and fourth innings to claim their second win of the World Cup.

Two of the three debutants got their first action at a World Cup, with Kaila Borgomastro claiming the final two outs of the ballgame on the mound, while Elodie O’Sullivan made a start in left-field, going 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI.

The Emeralds second game of the Women’s World Cup was full of ebbs and flows, but unfortunately the Dominican finished stronger, scoring three late runs to top Australia 9-6.

The Dominican Republic did all of their damage with two outs in the bottom of the sixth, as the bottom third of their lineup picked up four consecutive hits, scoring three runs.

The Australian Emeralds were made to wait for their first victory at the Women’s World Cup in Florida, after weather suspended their game against Cuba.

Despite the delay, Australia finished the better, scoring the last seven runs to defeat Cuba 12-4.

Abbey McLellan is a rookie by name, but certainly not by nature.

She has represented Victoria at multiple Australian Women’s Championships, with her most recent campaign in April yielding a .552 batting average, a team high 16 hits and a very handy OBP of .658.
