    The Black Sox are still in with a shout of adding to their record seven world titles at softball's World Cup

    The Black Sox are still in with a shout of adding to their record seven world titles at softball's World Cup


    New Zealand now has one-win and one-loss in the Top 4 Super Round after pipping the United States 5-4 - thanks to Jerome Raemaki's walk-off homer in the final innings.

    A match-up against Japan will determine if New Zealand can sneak into the gold medal showdown or the play-off for bronze.
