The U.S. offense struggled to find its rhythm, collecting only three hits on the day — with Ashleigh Bronowicz, Michaela Landers, and Lucy Reis each tabbing one.

The U.S. pitching staff of Maci Barnes, Braelyn Johnson and Lucy Reis combined for six strikeouts through seven innings while allowing only three earned runs.   

Puerto Rico took the lead in the top of the second with a single to plate one followed by a fielding miscue from the U.S. defense in the top of the third that allowed another run to cross – putting Puerto Rico ahead, 2-0.

Quiet through the next three innings, Puerto Rico scored their final two runs in the top of the seventh with a pair of singles and a double to extend their lead.

With the Gold Medal game on the line, the U.S. offense was unable to manufacture any runs in the bottom of the seventh, falling to Puerto Rico, 4-0.
