Taiwan's women's softball team went all out today (3rd) in the Nagoya Asian Games bronze medal match, defeating the Philippines 12-2 in 4 innings to end the game early and secure the bronze medal. Before this Asian Games, Taiwan's women's softball team had already won medals for 9 consecutive editions, accumulating 4 silvers and 5 bronzes. Although they narrowly missed the gold medal again this time, they have set a record of winning medals for 10 consecutive editions.
Taiwan fielded ace pitcher Ke Xia-ai to start this game. The batting lineup continued its strong performance from the previous match, scoring 4 runs in the first inning and an impressive 8 runs in the second, quickly establishing a 12-0 lead. The Philippines only managed to score 2 runs in the third inning, but it was not enough to turn the tide. Ultimately, Taiwan ended the game early with a 12-2 victory.
Taiwan's women's softball team showed impressive firepower throughout this tournament. In the preliminary round, they defeated Hong Kong 10-3 in their first match, followed by a 10-1 victory over the Philippines and a 9-2 win against Singapore. They then trounced Thailand 22-1 and ended South Korea's game early with an 11-1 score. They only suffered losses against two major Asian rivals, China and Japan, losing narrowly 4-5 to China and 2-4 to host Japan, respectively. They entered the bronze medal match with a preliminary round record of 5 wins and 2 losses, securing the third seed.
The opponent in the bronze medal match was once again the familiar Philippines. In the previous Hangzhou Asian Games, Taiwan also defeated the Philippines in the bronze medal match. This edition saw a repeat of the same scenario, with the game ending early due to a large margin.
Since women's softball became a formal medal sport in the Asian Games in 1990, Taiwan has never been absent from the podium. With the addition of another bronze medal this time, the consecutive medal-winning streak has been extended to 10 editions.
