Perfect Record for Black Sox

The Black Sox made it a perfect record at the Canberra Skins tournament at the weekend.
The side won all seven of their games, including impressive performances against Australian pitchers Andrew Kirkpatrick and Adam Folkard.
“Ultimately we are building toward the 2013 world championship,” team representative Jayden Moore said.
“That is the main focus for us and these games are just part of that mission.
“The boys executed the plays we wanted them to.”
Kirkpatrick and Folkard played major roles in the Australia’s world championship victory in 2009 but were unable to find any answer to the batting power of the Black Sox at the weekend.
Kirkpatrick conceded nine hits when the Black Sox beat his club side 11-0 and Folkard gave up five hits for the Black Sox to win that game 5-0.
“There was some good batting efforts from us all weekend,” Moore said.

Diamonds in the Sun - Book Launch

To All My Valued Friends

Some of you have known about this book for awhile. Others will know nothing about.

It is the life story of my father and our family and how we ended up in NZ. It covers Dad's life from his birth, growing up during the Great Depression. In the army in Germany and than his softball career in NZ where he was the first and last coach to win a medal (four of them) at a World Championships. Of course after that comes the 18 year caretaking of my beloved mother and what happens next.

We have been overwhelmed with the number of people interested in coming to the Book Launch.

I hope you are able to make it despite the late notice.

It is a story that will move you to tears. It will challenge your beliefs and inspire you to make more out of your life.

We will mail a book to you anywhere in the world.
