Georgina Corrick throws five-inning perfect game in 7-0 win against Ireland

British ace Georgina Corrick threw a five-inning perfect game against Ireland, in her team’s 7-0 win against the host team of the Women’s Softball World Cup Group A. The right hander retired the 15 hitters she faced in the game, recording nine strikeouts.

Corrick is having a fantastic tournament. She tossed three complete games for Great Britain, remaining scoreless for 19 innings. She has struck out 26 opponents while allowing 10 hits and two walks.

A seven-run third inning was the difference for Great Britain, using six hits while also taking advantage of three mistakes, to score all the runs of the game. Katie Burge (2-for-2) hit a two-run triple and scored a run.

Great Britain moved to 3-0 and remain on top of the standings, securing at least the second place in the Opening Round. Tomorrow they will face a doubleheader against Botswana and USA. With this loss, Ireland is out of contention for a spot in the playoffs and next year’s finals.
