Rain in the Oklahoma City area affected Sunday's action at the KFC World Cup of Softball, but they still managed to get three of the four scheduled games played.

In the first game, Husky sophomore Shawna Wright started for the USA Futures team that beat Japan, 2-1.

In the second game of the day, three Huskies contributed to the Canada squad that handed the USA its first loss of the tournament, 5-2. Jenn Salling started and both Danielle Lawrie and incoming freshman Victoria Hayward appeared off the bench for Canada. Ashley Charters went 3-for-3 for Team USA.

The day wrapped up with Japan beating Canada, 4-0. Salling was the only Husky to appear in that game.

The World Cup wraps up Monday with three scheduled games. Team USA plays USA Futures at 10:00 a.m. PT, and then with the standings set, the third/fourth place game (#3 seed vs. Canada) goes off at 2:00 p.m. and the title game (#2 seed vs. USA) starts at 6:00 p.m. That title game will air live on ESPN.
