    A late surge has guided the Black Sox to a big opening win at the softball World Championships in the Czech Republic


    New Zealand's trounced the hosts 9-nil, after batter Ben Enoka blasted a three-run shot over the outfield in the sixth inning.

    He says it was just one of the hits that came his way which then helped with momentum.
