Video by Blair Setford, Ballpark Radio’s Kyle Smith with the call, with color by Dan Duemo, from the New Zealand Black Sox 2011 North American tour. This was the first stop, at St. Catharine’s Ontario, for a doubleheader against the GHFL (Golden Horseshoe Fastball League) All Stars.
Editor’s note: Nicely done by Blair, who shot the video sitting next to Kyle, and capturing the play-by-play. Something tells me that it’s going to get crowded sitting next to Kyle at the next tournament !
