Mexico defeats Chile in the opening of Female Softball

The North American team comfortably defeated the host in a match valid for Group A.

Monday, October 30th, 2023.- Chile qualified for the Games as the host, and their lack of experience in the sport became evident as they suffered a substantial defeat to Mexico.

The North American team won 8-0, and the outcome was decided in the fifth inning.

The two standout players of the match were the Mexicans Karen Lizarraga and Alexia López, who each contributed two innings.

Chile will return to play in Group B on Tuesday, where they will face Venezuela starting at 4:00 p.m. local time. Meanwhile, Mexico will be back on the diamond on Wednesday, playing a classic match against the United States at 1:00 p.m. local time.
