NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma's Keilani Ricketts used a four-inning one-hit performance to claim the win as the USA Softball Women's National Team defeated Mexico 7-0 in the Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico. The U.S. moved to 3-0 in pool play at the Pan Am Games with the five-inning run-rule win.
Ricketts saw her first action of the event in the circle after seeing time as a designated player in USA's first win over Venezuela. The junior from San Jose, Calif., allowed just one hit with six strikeouts. Mexico's Maria Hernandez got the lone hit off Ricketts with one out in the top of the third inning before the Sooner pitcher quickly retired the next two batters with strikeouts.
Ricketts helped her cause at the plate with an RBI ground out bringing in the third U.S. run. in the bottom of the first. Ricketts recorded a hit later in the third inning before being replaced by a pitch runner who would go on to score the sixth American run.
The USA team returns to action on Wednesday as it faces Cuba and Puerto Rico in back-to-back games.
