Soft: Kerry's big hit makes her an Aussie idol

If it wasn't for the timing of the Olympic Games, Australian softballer and wannabe
singer KERRY WYBORN says she would've been having a shot at Australian Idol.

Instead, she's made herself an idol with a big, match-winning hit to guarantee Australia
at least a Olympic silver medal and give her team a chance at gold against the United
States.

The singing softballer hit a three-run double with bases loaded under crushing pressure
in the fifth inning to secure Australia a 3-0 win over Japan in its sudden-death final.

It was the sweet sound of plenty of bat on ball as WYBORN batted in SIMMONE MORROW,
TANYA HARDING and TRACEY MOSLEY to ensure Australia will better its bronze medal at the
past two Games, no matter what the result against the US in the gold medal match.
