Wellington, NZ - -Softball World Championships - Golden Homes Black Sox
The Golden Homes Black Sox depart this weekend in their quest for an unprecedented 7th softball world championship title.
Â
The XV Mens World Softball Championship will take place in Whitehorse, Canada from July 7-16 with 17 teams from 5 continents taking part in what promises to be a highly competitive and hard fought event.
Â
The No.1 world ranked Golden Homes Black Sox will be seeking to turn the tables on their host country rivals Canada who took the title in a thrilling 2015 championship final.
Â
Coach Mark Sorenson along with Captain Nathan Nukunuku have selected a very exciting and balanced 17 man squad that includes a mixture of power hitters and world class athletes throughout the line-up including the 3 Enoka brothers from Auckland.
Â
The warm up tour sees the group arrive in Vancouver on Saturday to begin preparations before taking on 16 tournament fixtures in both Vancouver Island and Victoria before travelling north to Whitehorse.
Â
On behalf of Softball NZ I thank you for your continued support of our fine game and ask you to please join with me in wishing these talented world class athletes the very best in their quest to return home with a 7th championship title and cement their legacy as arguably New Zealand’s most successful field based sports team.

Yours in Softball, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
