It will be a homecoming of sorts for two international coaches at Levin when New Zealand under-18 softball team takes on its Denmark counterpart at Playford Park.
Legendary NZ softball pitcher Bill Massey was overwhelmed at the turnout to a surprise function to honour his induction into world softball's Hall of Fame.
Jerome Raemaki and Zac Boyd's home runs sparked Wellington to their first National Fastpitch Championship men's provincial softball title since the 2009-10 season.
Auckland took out the women's championship before Wellington ended an 11-year title drought in the men's competition as both finals were wrapped up in five innings due to the mercy rule being enforced.
