The Aussie Spirit are playing in the Amsterdam Women’s Softball Invitational in preparation for the WBSC World Cup Group Stage in Prague next week (June 16-21).

All the best to the team, especially our SA representatives Stephanie Trzcinski, Georgia Hood, Olivia Elliott, Chelsea Robinson and Taylor Chillingworth.

Two games, two wins for the Aussie Spirit 💪🥎

The Aussie Spirit are building nicely towards the WBSC Women’s World Cup Group Stage 2026 in Prague, currently sharpening up at the Amsterdam Invitational ahead of next week’s action 🏆

Game 1 saw Australia dominate Czechia 8–0 in five innings, setting the tone early and never letting up. Georgia Hood powered the offence with a two-run homer, while the pitching staff combined for a composed shutout performance.

Game 2 was a much tighter contest, with the Spirit edging Italy 2–1 in a hard-fought battle. After Italy drew level late, Australia responded in the seventh to regain the lead and held firm under pressure, with Trzcinski closing it out when it counted.

Next up:
🇳🇱 Netherlands — 3:00am AEST | 11 June
🇳🇱 Netherlands — 12:00am AEST | 12 June
🇮🇹 Italy — 12:00am AEST | 13 June
