The men's team has found the going tough at the ongoing WBSC Softball World Championships in the Czech Republic, after recording a fourth defeat against Mexico on Tuesday. Botswana lost the game 5-3 as their poor run continued, following losses to Cuba, New Zealand and Argentina.

Botswana had a chance to win the game after managing to bring the deficit to two runs but could not get the result they desperately need. Botswana has won a single game (3-0) against Philippines but lost 6-0 tO Cuba, 7-0 to New Zealand and a heavy 8-0 defeat to Argentina.

Tomorrow, Botswana take on the host Czech Republic and they have a mountain to climb on Thursday against Japan.  During the Mexico match, Botswana had some chances to score in the game but could not get the clutch hit to produce the runs.
