By Whitney Frink & Jeremy Blacklow BEIJING, China -- The U.S. women's softball team struggled to find a silver lining to the silver medal earned Thursday night in Beijing, especially since this was the last year of Olympic softball. One theory as to why the sport was voted out of the 2012 Olympics -- that team U.S.A. has been too dominant, almost never losing. Ironic now, as Japan ended up celebrating the 2008 gold. "How are you feeling this morning?" Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson asked the team on Friday. "I know it was a devastating loss for you ladies." "Wearing this uniform, you're used to winning," star pitcher Jennie Finch responded. "That's why -- that's why we did it. But you know in the end, yes, we have a silver medal and a lot of people would dream about that."
