WATCH: Georgina Corrick Buoys Great Britain to Undefeated Start in World Cup

South Florida great Georgina Corrick is now pitching for Team Great Britain, the headliner of a GB squad that is currently competing in the early stage of the WBSC World Cup in Ireland.

Corrick threw a shutout over Australia to begin play in the World Cup, the first time that the British squad has taken down their Australian counterparts on the softball diamond. On Wednesday, Corrick again took the circle, this time against Chinese Taipei.

What followed was another shutout from the circle, but this time, Corrick also contributed offensively. Slotted in the 3rd spot in the British batting order, Corrick clubbed a two-run home run that would prove to be the game’s only scoring in what was a 2-0 final score.

Behind Corrick’s arm and bat, Great Britain is off to a 2-0 start in the World Cup.

Great Britain entered the tournament ranked #16 in the world; their victories thus-far have come against the #3 (Chinese Taipei) and #9 (Australia) teams in those same rankings.

In addition to Great Britain, Australia, and Chinese Taipei, other squads competing in Group A of the World Cup’s opening round are the United States, Botswana, and host Ireland.
