a top-ranked country in both men&#8217;s (No. 6) and women&#8217;s (No. 1) disciplines, Team USA has earned a spot in the competition, with the men&#8217;s tournament taking place from August 6-10, while the women&#8217;s tournament is set for August 13-17.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Proving to be a successful sport at the 2022 World Games in Birmingham, Alabama, the women\u2019s softball competition drew record-breaking attendance for both the duration of the tournament and a single event. The 2025 edition of the World Games will mark the fourth appearance for women&#8217;s softball and the second for men&#8217;s softball, as men\u2019s softball is making a return to the World Games after a 44-year absence with the last tournament taking place in 1981 in Santa Clara, California, during the inaugural event.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-news-events-heading\"

victory (five innings) over Singapore followed by a 6-3 win over Canada to kick off Opening Round. Team USA\u2019s matchup against Canada was suspended after five innings of play due to lighting conditions and was later announced to be a win for the U.S. due to Tournament Rule C9.2 that states it was a complete game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading-with-underline\">USA 15, Singapore 2 (5)<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Scoring in four of the five innings played, the Eagles came out strong in their first contest of The World Games, with seven U.S. batters recording at least one hit in the matchup. Singapore plated its two runs in the first and third innings with a string of timely base hits and a double to cut into the lead. Team USA proved dominant at the plate, tallying 15 runs on 15 hits. Jonathan Lynch led the offense with a perfect 4-for-4 performance, while Yusef Davis (2-for-2), Blaine Milheim (3-for-5), and Erick Ochoa (3-for-3) also turned in multi-hit games. Lynch and Milheim each homered in the win. Brad Kilpatrick got the start in the circle, tossing three innings before Cody Gibbons took over in the fourth. The duo combined for eight strikeouts while allowing just two runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading-with-underline\">USA 6, Canada 3 (*5)<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Eagles struck early, plating runs in each of the first three innings\u2014highlighted by home runs off the bats of Yusef Davis and Ochoa. Braden DuCharme, Lynch, Nick Mullins, and Zac Shaw also contributed with base hits throughout the game. Canada scored its three runs in the bottom of the second thanks to a pair of singles. In the circle, Marco Diaz fanned five batters through five innings while only allowing two earned runs. Diaz and the U.S. defense kept Canada quiet over the next three frames before the game was suspended due to lighting conditions. With five full innings completed, the contest was ruled official, securing the win for Team USA.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"ghostkit-accordion-item ghostkit-custom-Z1fsfGM\" data-accordion=\"accordion-game-3-vs-australia\"><div class=\"ghostkit-accordion-item-heading\"><button type=\"button\" id=\"accordion-game-3-vs-australia-button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-game-3-vs-australia-content\"><span class=\"ghostkit-accordion-item-label\"><strong>Game 3 vs Australia<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ghostkit-accordion-item-collapse\"><svg class=\"ghostkit-svg-icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M9.21967 6.2197C9.51256 5.9268 9.98744 5.9268 10.2803 6.2197L15.5303 11.4697C15.8232 11.7626 15.8232 12.2374 15.5303 12.5303L10.2803 17.7803C9.98744 18.0732 9.51256 18.0732 9.21967 17.7803C8.92678 17.4874 8.92678 17.0126 9.21967 16.7197L13.9393 12L9.21967 7.2803C8.92678 6.9874 8.92678 6.5126 9.21967 6.2197Z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/button><\/div><div id=\"accordion-game-3-vs-australia-content\" class=\"ghostkit-accordion-item-content is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-item-is-layout-flow\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-game-3-vs-australia-button\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/usasoftball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2025\/08\/25_MNT_GameDay_Graphics-4-1.png?w=819\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33782\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/usasoftball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2025\/08\/25_MNT_GameDay_Graphics-4-1.png 1350w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/usasoftball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2025\/08\/25_MNT_GameDay_Graphics-4-1.png?resize=240,300 240w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/usasoftball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2025\/08\/25_MNT_GameDay_Graphics-4-1.png?resize=768,960 768w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/usasoftball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2025\/08\/25_MNT_GameDay_Graphics-4-1.png?resize=819,1024 819w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/usasoftball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2025\/08\/25_MNT_GameDay_Graphics-4-1.png?resize=1228,1536 1228w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/usasoftball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2025\/08\/25_MNT_GameDay_Graphics-4-1.png?resize=72,90 72w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/usasoftball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2025\/08\/25_MNT_GameDay_Graphics-4-1.png?resize=720,900 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Team USA caps Opening Round with 14-3 run-rule victory over Australia; Advances to Playoff Round as No. 1 seed in Group B<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Behind a 10-run third inning, the U.S. Men\u2019s National Team (MNT) improved to 3-0 at The World Games 2025 with a 14-3 run-rule victory (four innings) over Australia, closing out Opening Round and advancing to the Playoff Round as the No. 1 seed in Group B. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Australia struck first with a lead-off hit-by-pitch followed by a single to plate one run, but the U.S. offense answered in the bottom of the second when a fielding miscue allowed Tyler Johnson to race home. Zac Shaw followed with an RBI triple to right field, and Blaine Milheim added another run with a base hit to give the Eagles a 4-1 lead. Australia closed the gap in the top of the third with a two-run homer, cutting the U.S. lead, 4-3. Johnson responded in the bottom half with a two-run blast over the center field fence, sparking a 10-run inning highlighted by RBI singles from Jeff Lewis, Erick Ochoa, and Johnson, before Frank Kimlinger cleared the bases with a triple to plate the final three runs. With the run-rule in effect, Cody Gibbons and the U.S. defense escaped a bases-loaded jam in the top of the fourth with a strikeout and a double play to secure the 14-3 victory.

Both teams walk away with gold, marking the first gold medal for the U.S. Men\u2019s National Team program in over 35 years \u2014 their last coming at the 1988 ISF World Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With an undefeated 4-0 record, the Eagles dominated at TWG 2025, outscoring opponents 42-8 and posting a .417 team batting average. The Red, White, and Blue collected wins over Singapore, Canada, Australia, and Venezuela en route to the top of the podium, tallying 40 hits and 27 RBIs along the way. Three of those victories came by way of the run-rule. Leading the U.S. offense was Erick Ochoa with a .600 batting average, followed by Jonathan Lynch (.556), Yusef Davis (.556), and Blaine Milheim (.462). The Eagles blasted five home runs during the tournament, with Davis, Tyler Johnson, Lynch, Milheim, and Ochoa each recording one. In the circle, Marco Diaz, Cody Gibbons, and Brad Kilpatrick combined for 25 strikeouts while allowing just seven earned runs across 20 innings pitched \u2013 with Diaz leading the charge with 15 Ks, followed by seven from Gibbons and three from Kilpatrick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three Eagles earned All-World Team honors: Davis, Lynch, and Ochoa. Ochoa led the tournament in batting average (.600) and on-base percentage (.692) while ranking second in hits (6). Zac Shaw also made his mark as a tournament leader with three stolen bases. Davis tied for the most doubles (2) among six athletes and ranked second in slugging percentage (1.000). On the pitching side, Diaz topped the tournament in both wins (2) and ERA (1.27).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With today\u2019s gold medal, Team USA becomes the only national team to win medals in three consecutive world events \u2014 claiming gold at the 2022 WBSC World Cup, the 2025 WBSC World Cup, and now the 2025 World Games.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"ghostkit-tab

powered by timely hitting from the Eagle offense.

The pair combined for five strikeouts and allowed just two hits on the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Eagles jumped ahead in the top of the second as Janae Jefferson\u2019s base hit up the middle drove in two runs for a 2-0 lead. Bubba Nickles added another in the third, reaching on a fielder\u2019s choice that plated one, before Tiare Jennings capped the scoring in the fifth with a solo shot to left field to make it 4-0. Ally Carda and the U.S. defense held strong over the final three innings, keeping Chinese Taipei off the board to seal the shutout. Jayda Coleman (2-for-3) and Jennings (2-for-4) led the offense with multi-hit performances at the plate, while Maya Brady, Sahvanna Jaquish, and Jefferson each contributed a hit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"ghostkit-accordion-item ghostkit-custom-a0H9u\" data-accordion=\"accordion-game-2-vs-netherlands\"><div class=\"ghostkit-accordion-item-heading\"><button type=\"button\" id=\"accordion-game-2-vs-netherlands-button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-game-2-vs-netherlands-content\"><span class=\"ghostkit-accordion-item-label\"><strong>Game 2 vs Netherlands<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ghostkit-accordion-item-collapse\"><svg class=\"ghostkit-svg-icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M9.21967 6.2197C9.51256 5.9268 9.98744 5.9268 10.2803 6.2197L15.5303 11.4697C15.8232 11.7626 15.8232 12.2374 15.5303 12.5303L10.2803 17.7803C9.98744 18.0732 9.51256 18.0732 9.21967 17.7803C8.92678 17.4874 8.92678 17.0126 9.21967 16.7197L13.9393 12L9.21967 7.2803C8.92678 6.9874 8.92678 6.5126 9.21967 6.2197Z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/button><\/div><div id=\"accordion-game-2-vs-netherlands-content\" class=\"ghostkit-accordion-item-content is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-item-is-layout-flow\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-game-2-vs-netherlands-button\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/usasoftball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2025\/08\/2025_WNT_GameDay_Graphics-1.png?w=819\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33879\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/usasoftball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2025\/08\/2025_WNT_GameDay_Graphics-1.png 1350w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/usasoftball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2025\/08\/2025_WNT_GameDay_Graphics-1.png?resize=240,300 240w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/usasoftball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2025\/08\/2025_WNT_GameDay_Graphics-1.png?resize=768,960 768w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/usasoftball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2025\/08\/2025_WNT_GameDay_Graphics-1.png?resize=819,1024 819w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/usasoftball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2025\/08\/2025_WNT_GameDay_Graphics-1.png?resize=1228,1536 1228w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/usasoftball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2025\/08\/2025_WNT_GameDay_Graphics-1.png?resize=72,90 72w, https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/usasoftball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2025\/08\/2025_WNT_GameDay_Graphics-1.png?resize=720,900 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">U.S. Women\u2019s National Team improves to 2-0 at The World Games with 8-1 run-rule over Netherlands<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Team USA picked up its second win of The World Games 2025 (TWG) today with an 8-1 (five innings) run-rule victory over the Netherlands.
