Caldwell set the tone for the game as she struck out the side in the first inning. The offense backed her up with two runs in the bottom of the inning and the U.S. never looked back.

Natalie Land worked a lead-off walk and moved to third on a double off the bat of Barrett. A miscue in center field allowed Land to score the first run of the game. Following a Michelle Snyder single that put runners on the corners, Donna Williams made it 2-0 with a sacrifice fly.

The lead grew to five in the second inning. After working a lead-off walk, Samantha Cobb moved to second with one out and scored on a Navarro base hit. Land walked for the second time and both runners were standing in scoring position for Barrett, who laced a two-run single to center for a 5-0 lead.

The Aussie Stars cracked the scoreboard for the first time in the sixth. With one out Borgomastro walked. She was standing on third with two outs and raced home on a wild pitch.

In the bottom of the seventh, the Red, White and Blue extended its lead to 14-1. Barrett's fifth hit of the afternoon led off the inning. With two on and one out, Kayla Bufardeci doubled in two runs and she scored on a base hit off the bat of Malaika Underwood.

The Aussie Stars took advantage of an error to put a four-spot on the board in the eight to pull within 14-5. The big blow was a two-run triple off the bat of Tabitha Callander. Team USA answered with a run in the bottom of the inning to account for the final score.
