Recap

Baylor and Team USA pitcher Kendal Volz:
"What a great game; 12 innings, 1-0 ... it doesn't get much better than that. This game had so many ups and downs for both teams. There were some frustrating moments and some great defensive plays.

"This team played so great all summer long. We got 10 hits tonight and just couldn't get a run across until the very end. Finally we got a ball to bounce our way, and that's really the way it was for this team all summer.

"This was a great opportunity, and I'm so thankful to (National Team general manager) Eric Campbell and (Team USA head coach) Rob Walton for allowing me to be on this team. They needed me in the closer's role. It was a new role for me, but there are a lot of things I learned as a closer that will benefit me when I return to a starter's role next spring."
