U.S. team wins 110th straight

 HONOLULU (AP) -- The U.S. Olympic softball team wound up its exhibition schedule Thursday with an 11-0 victory over Hawaii Pacific University.

 The game, which marked the 110th consecutive win for Team USA, was called midway through the fifth inning because of the 10-run mercy rule.

 Lori Harrigan and Christa Williams held HPU hitless, striking out nine of the 15 batters they faced.

 Jennifer Brundage went 2-for-3 with three RBIs for Team USA. Dot Richardson, Lisa Fernandez and Sheila Douty drove in two runs apiece.

 Team USA took a 3-0 lead in the first inning before HPU pitcher Jennifer Woodard settled down and retired the side in order in the second and third innings. The U.S. team then scored eight runs in the fourth.

 Team USA now heads to Sydney to play Canada on Sept. 16.
