 If you haven’t heard of Fastball45 yet, you are about to!!

Fastball45 is fast, exciting, tactical & explosive!!

SNZ has been able to have tonights 2 National League Finals Series Fastball45 Games released live 🔴 on the “Sky Sports Next” YouTube platform. (Geo blocked NZ only)

Here is the link that will go live🔴 7pm NZT tonight Sat 12 Dec 2020 https://youtu.be/YdBcknCiRbo


7:00pm     F     West Waves vs. Hutt Valley Kotuku Raiders
8:00pm     M     Central Auckland Bolts vs. Wellington Thunder

This is kinda a big deal, as normally all Sky TV production is only viewable in NZ on a satellite 🛰  subscription.

But SNZ & Sky TV are going to release it to the World 🌎 as an exclusive first!

Would you be able to do some sort of release on your website & social mediums to help promote?

As I believe this is the most exciting thing to happen to softball ever!

Info on Fastball45 is it’s a short version of Softball created by SNZ.

45 min long only, 4 innings max, 3 ball walks, Runners start on base every inning (1st 1B, 2nd 1B 2B, 3rd Loaded, 4th 1B), Base Runner can leave early when stealing, Squeeze Play scores two points, Double Play ends the innings, Power Play for two batters removes one defensive player.

So it’s super Fast, and super exciting!!
