[Title] => Kiwis win third world softball title
[Summary] => CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand — The defending champion New Zealand’s Black Sox have achieved a historic three-peat, beating Canada, 9-5, to win the XI men’s softball world championship here in Christchurch.
It was the champs’ third crown after wins in Michigan in 1996 and East London in 2000.
After two wins on the road, a victory at home was sweet for the defending titlists, and they showed their fans their appreciation of their support by throwing their shirts to the ground and doing a haka on the diamond.

[Title] => New Zealand stuns Canada, books trip to softball final
[Summary] => CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand — Defending champion New Zealand overwhelmed Canada in a 13-5 decision marred by two dugout-clearing incidents while Australia pulled off a huge upset of world No. 2 Japan, 1-0, and then shocked the United States, 5-4, to contend for the other final berth in the XI men’s world softball championship here Saturday.
The reigning titlist Black Sox will go for their third straight crown in the gold medal match Sunday against the winner of the Australia-Canada showdown from the loser’s bracket of the double page playoff.
