The South African Baseball Union managed to win the U/17 African Championships recently and SA has thus qualified to participate in the world cup.
The event is set to take place in Osaka, Japan, from August 28 until September 6.
The squad’s players, who were selected to represent South Africa, come from varied and diverse backgrounds.
Although many of the members come from disadvantaged environments, a golf day fundraiser was held at the Modderfontein Golf Club.
The fundraiser was held as more than 50 percent of the cost for the tour falls must be carried by the players and their families.
