With scarcely more than a month until the International Softball Federation World Championships in Saskatoon,SK, Team Argentina has embarked on a full schedule of North American matches and tournaments to prepare for the 2009 Event.
Team Argentina won its first two matches in Pool Play at the Legends Tournament in Kitchener, before losing 6-2 to the ISC defending Champion Kitchener Hallman Rivershark Twins.
Argentina finished tied for 3rd with St. Thomas Evergreen Centennials, while Kitchener Hallman Rivershark Twins won the championship, beating Jarvis Gamblers in the final.
