Auckland's Connor Peden is mobbed by his teammates after hitting a grand slam home run in the National Fastpitch Championship final against Wellington in Christchurch. Connor Peden was the toast of Auckland softball after his grand slam home run lit up the National Fastpitch Championship men's softball title. Peden blasted five RBIs (runs batted in) in Auckland's 9-3 win over a Wellington controversially deprived of Black Sox pitcher Josh Pettett. Black Sox pitcher Nik Hayes came on in relief to hurl Auckland to their fourth title in the last five years. JOSEPH JOHNSON/STUFF Auckland pitcher Nik Hayes is congratulated by Thomas Enoka.
