    Mark Sorensen has called time on his coaching career with the Black Sox

    Mark Sorensen has called time on his coaching career with the Black Sox


    The three-time world champion player will step aside after 10 years at the helm of the New Zealand men's softball team.

    The announcement comes after finishing eighth - their worst ever result - at their home World Cup.

    Sorensen says the lack of game time due to Covid was to blame - but the leadership needs to be refreshed.
