The women's softball team lost to China 5-2 yesterday to drop its record to 2-2 in the preliminary round robin.

Each team had nine hits, but Taiwan's bottom of the order couldn't get any timely hitting, stranding 10 runners to compound two errors in the field. Taiwanese starter Wu Chia-yen got roughed up for six hits and four runs, three of them earned, in 4.2 innings of work to take the loss.
