Another homer for Bustos

| | Comments (0) |

Canyon Country's Crystl Bustos, a Canyon High graduate, hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning in a 3-0 win over Australia.
It was the third straight Olympic game that Bustos has homered. She homered in the opening game in Beijing against Venezuela and in the gold medal game of the 2004 Olympics.
Her home run against Australia scored Camarillo's Jessica Mendoza, who drew a walk.
Natasha Watley of Irvine had a run-scoring single in the fifth inning to break a scoreless tie.
"Today was a lot of fun. Obviously I was pleased with my at bat. These are the situations you dream about and why you play the game," Watley said of her RBI single. "You dream about being able to come through for your team and it's nice when you do especially at a stage like this."
The U.S. improved to 2-0 in the Olympics and have a 16-game Olympic winning streak. Australia is 0-2 in the Olympics, losing to Japan in its opening game.
