Team Canada Plays to a Bronze Medal in Women's Softball.
During the week of July 15-24 Team Canada hosted and participated in the 2016 Women's World Softball Championship tournament at Softball City in Surrey BC.
Team Canada won five straight games leading into their quarter final game against Japan. Unfortunately, they fell 11-1 to Japan in a mercy-ruled four innings in Sunday’s semifinal before a the home crowd of 4,500.
To finish the tournament, the U.S. were crowned world champions again, after they defeated Japan 7-3 in Sunday evening’s final. It’s the sixth straight World's that the two teams, Japan and the U.S., have battled for gold.
Canadian supporters where not disappointed as Canada’s bronze marks their highest finish since they took the third-place hardware at the 2010 worlds in Caracas, Venezuela. They finished fourth at the worlds two years ago in Haarlem, Netherlands.
Denbow would like to officially congratulate our 2016 Women's Softball team. Great job team Canada!
In addition we would like to express our appreciation to the City of Surrey, the official host city of the games. We supported Surrey through our Playchip top-up program as well as our mulch blowing services to get the Softball City park in tip top shape for the games.
