“The South African Baseball Union congratulates all selected players and extends its appreciation to the coaches, provincial unions, clubs, families and supporters who continue to play a vital role in the development of the national programme. The Union wishes the squad every success as they prepare to proudly represent South Africa in France,” said Ackermann.
