The United States beat Japan and Canada on the same day to extend their Olympic winning streak to 18 matches.
The Americans beat Japan 7-0 before resuming their suspended game with Canada from Thursday trailing 1-0.
However, Cat Osterman pitched four no-hit innings for the US as her side came back to win 8-1.
Also on Friday, Canada beat China 1-0, a victory that all but assured them a spot in next week's medal round. Australia defeated Chinese Taipei 3-1.
Venezuela recorded their first Olympic softball win, 8-0 over the Netherlands, in a game called after five innings.
In four games, the Americans have posted three shutouts, outscored the opposition 29-1 and allowed just two hits in 24 innings.
