Meanwhile on the track, Team USA's 4x400-meters relays mixed team—which featured Mason running third leg—crossed first in heat one but was disqualified due to an out-of-zone exchange infraction between legs one and two.

Mark Kolozsvary and Team USA kicked off Olympic baseball action on Friday morning against Israel, opening the tournament with an 8-1 victory over their Group B counterpart.

With the Gators product marshaling the pitching staff, Team USA hurlers combined for nine innings of one-run ball, allowing just seven hits and striking out nine.
By opening up pool play with a convincing win, Team USA will take on Korea at 6 a.m. ET on Saturday morning in a battle for the top seed in Group B heading into the knockout stage. Knockout play is scheduled to begin on Sunday, August 1 and run through August 7.
