Organizers hope Women's Baseball World Cup helps grow the game

The 2024 edition of the tournament wrapped up on Saturday at Port Arthur Stadium.

The top six national women’s baseball teams on the planet competed in the 2024 World Baseball Softball Confederation Women’s Baseball World Cup, which was won by Japan on Saturday afternoon. “There were also a lot of mothers coming to the games with their daughters, so I think we exposed the sport to a lot of people,” Melchiorre added.
