The Philippines blanked Turkey 10-0 and South Africa 3-0 in consecutive games in a show of dominance in the preliminary round of the junior women's softball world championship in Clearwater, Fla.

The Cebuana Lhuillier-backed junior Blu Girls upped their record to 4-1 in Pool A of the tournament sanctioned by the World Baseball Softball Confederation.

The Philippines took advantage of Turkey's errors to take a commanding lead in the first inning, while the Blu Girls relied on pitcher Sierra Lange's strong performance on the mound, where she allowed just one hit in the victory over South Africa.

The Philippines was scheduled to play the defending champion and world No. 2 Americans on Thursday (Friday, Manila time) hoping to book a top-2 place in Pool A and advance to the championship round-robin.
