                    [Title] => Blu Girls bounce back, rout Koreans
                    [Summary] => NANJING, China – Team Philippines recovered from an opening-day loss to China with a decisive 7-0 victory over Korea behind the explosive performance of hurler Geda Valencia yesterday in the seventh Junior Women’s Softball Championship at the Nanjing University of Technology field here.


Valencia, 19, carried the cudgels for the Blu Girls as she struck out eight, issued only three hits and scored in two runs right in the first inning for the victory that more than made up for their defeat at the hands of the Chinese under finger-numbing cold a day earlier.
