KZN Heat through to finals

THE KZN men’s softball team (KZN Heat) did itself proud at the recent national premier softball leaague sponsored by Sports and Recreation South Africa.

The event was hosted by Limpopo Softball and Softball South Africa in Polokwane in very warm conditions. With all softball provinces represented, the Heat team got off to a slow start with just two wins out of four on the first day of the event. They bounced back the following day with a further two wins, putting them in a third versus fourth playoff match against Western Cape Hawks to qualify for the finals weekend on 1 June.

In the playoff qualifier, scores were level at 4-4 going into extra tie-breaker innings, 6-6 after the 8th innings, and going down 9-6 in the top of the 9th inning.

KZN Heat fought back to win 10-9 and booked their place for Cape Town.
