Makea Making a Mark on New Zealand Softball

Matt Parr —

Reilly Makea (Year 12) has been selected in the New Zealand Junior (Under 19) Mens Softball Team. 

Currently at the New Zealand Fast Pitch (Softball) Championships playing for the Red Sox, Makea will travel to Midland, Michigan in July with the Junior Black Sox to compete at the ISF Junior Mens Softball World Series.

This will be Makea's second time at this event. He was picked last year as a 15 year old to play in the World Series in Prague.

This is a huge achievement for the young man who clearly has a bright future in the game of softball. Last month Makea was awarded the series MPV for the New Zealand Under 17's softball championships.
