Bze Softball Federation mourns passing of Isolene Heath

The Belize Softball Federation and fans of the sport are tonight mourning the death of Isolene Heath who passed away in the United States. Heath was a star player on the National Women’s Softball Team of Belize, known as British Honduras in 1968 and competed in the first Caribbean softball tournament. The athlete was known for her “devastating fast ball and a curve ball that muffled her opponents” and was the first to pitch a “no-hitter” in the history of softball in Belize. In 1974 Heath won the first gold medal in softball at the twelfth Central American and Caribbean Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
