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.
The action will resume from Tokyo Friday evening when two-time Olympian Andres Arroyo (Puerto Rico) competes in the first round of the 800 meters. The race begins at 8:50 p.m. ET and can be live streamed here.

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.
Although Kolozsvary went hitless with one walk in four plate appearances, he started behind the plate and caught all nine innings for Team USA. 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.
