Womens softball was an event added for the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta and this year will mark the last for the short-lived experience. This is another sport where the United States Team has won gold for the past 3 Olympics and the pressure is on to take the game out with a bang. Veteran team members Jennie Finch, Laura Berg and Cat Osterman know the excitement that a gold medal brings and hope to lead their team to a fourth victory as they take on their last Olympic challenge for the foreseeable future. The ladies will begin the path to victory on Monday (8/11) against Venezuela and you can watch them play from 9:30pm 11:30pm EST. They also play on Wednesday (8/13) at the same time, Friday (8/15) from 12:00am 2:00am EST and Sunday (8/17) from 5:00am 7:00am EST to determine their placement in the following finals. Baseball will also be finishing up this year, dealing a big blow to Cuba, Japan, and the US, all countries who traditionally sent strong teams to the event.
