Black Sox beaten

The Black Sox have wrapped up their softball world championship buildup tour of British Columbia with a 10-3 loss to Canada in the semifinal of the Bob Law Memorial tournament. New Zealand took a surprise 2-1 lead heading into the bottom of the third over but that’s about as good as it got as the world champions’ batters soon fired, amassing five runs off Black Sox pitchers Nik Hayes and Campbell Gibson. Ben Enoka pegged one back in the fifth with a solo home run but Canada replied with four of their own to knock New Zealand out of the tournament.
