Softball: NZ lose again at junior world champs

The Junior Black Sox lost 8-1 to Japan at the junior men's world softball championship on Prince Edward Island, Canada, today.

They were beaten 1-0 by Australia yesterday.

The Junior Black Sox will be looking to get their campaign back on track tomorrow when they meet Canada.

Despite the two losses, earlier wins in the tournament should secure New Zealand a place in the play-offs.
