The Tara Twins Fastball organization is celebrating a major achievement as two of its athletes, Ethan Sopkowe of Tara and Darren Jacques of Owen Sound, have been selected to represent Team Canada at the 2027 WBSC U18 Men’s Softball World Cup, taking place June 18-26, 2027 in Czechia.
Their selection follows a national identification process that included a selection camp in Napanee, Ontario, held last month after the U17 Men’s Canadian Championship in Surrey, B.C.
Over the past two years, Team Canada’s coaching staff has been actively scouting and tracking athletes across the country in preparation for the upcoming World Cup.
Sopkowe and Jacques now join the 16-player national roster preparing to compete on the world stage, marking a proud moment for the Tara Twins organization and the local fastball community.
