The WBSC-E Supercup was held in Berlin for the first time, hosted by Softball Club Hangarounds
The army of volunteers gathered by Simone, Kai and Nina were amazing - from field dressing, catering, streaming, transportation, and everything in between...
The GB Teams competing in 2025 were returning Champions H2O, Pioneers and Legends - every one of them were a credit to the British Softball Community, and they showed grit and determination during some close fought fights.
The weather did impact play, with the loss of one field from Thursday morning after an epic GB Battle with Pioneers winning against Legends after being tied at end of 7th inning.
The loss of the field resulted in a revised schedule, but in the end - all the play off games were completed on Saturday 2nd August
The 3/4th play off between H2O and Legends was a great display of Slowpitch Softball with H2O taking the Bronze medal 12:11
The main 1/2 Final followed between Pioneers and UCE Travellers (Home Team) - this went all the way, Pioneers leading all the way until the bottom of 7 where UCE Travellers put on a tremendous display of batting to claw back a 6 run advantage, and win the 2025 Supercup
One of the main takeaways from this event was the standard of play, which many commented was the best they had seen...
Congratulations to the GB Teams - they did us all proud... Lesley
