Saskatoon Diamondbacks play host to New Zealand Black Sox

The Saskatoon Sr. Diamondbacks prepare to play the defending world champions with a pair of exhibition games on Tuesday June 24th and 25th. In preparation for the 2014 Canadian championships the Diamondbacks hope both games will be the right start to this season. No stranger to International play as the Black Sox will be the 5th national team to go along with Australia,USA,Japan and Czech Republic the Diamondbacks play host to since establishing in 2007 . Fresh off the Hill United Snapper shootout the all local Saskatoon team expect a very well experienced and well coached Black Sox team and with the ISF World Championship being played in Saskatoon next year, Diamondbacks don't expect to see anything but the best. With Team Canada hopefuls Devon Mccollough, Brennan Pokoyoway, Trevor Ethier and Jeff Farion the Diamondbacks look to fire back with national experience of their own to give the defending world champs some good games. With the rain looking to finally leave after a week of downpour tomorrow's game hopes to bring a great crowd to beautiful Bob Van Impe Park. After this weeks exhibition games the Diamondbacks officially kick off their shortened tournament schedule with the Challenge Cup in Vancouver July 5-6 and Fargo July 26-27 before Canadian Championships in Prince Edward Island August 26-31. With most the roster having signed on to ISC teams the Diamondbacks feel,even with the shortened season, confident going into PEI.
