Or, maybe it is just tough to get a 3 game sweep against close competition. The Japanese team was darn good all around. To expect any team, including Team USA, to beat them three straight was a bit much, especially all the hoopla about how big of an upset this was.
The last game went 9 innings and, except for Bustos 3 run homer, would have gone at least 10.
If anything, the Olympic format needs some thought (should the sport be re-instated in 2016).
They should consider a gold medal series to not have a 1 loss team get the silver and a 2 loss team get the gold, especially when the 2 losses by the gold team were from silver team.
