Israelis are not softies, even when it comes to softball.
The World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) has ranked Israel in 22nd place out of 100 countries, four places higher than last year.

The ranking comes one year after WBSC warned Tunisia for removing the Israeli flag at the organization’s first-ever conference.
The International Olympic Committee said at the time that the warning was “a clear signal that the IOC is not accepting any kind of discrimination.”
Tunisia, by the way, did not make it in the top 100 teams.
The World Baseball Softball was established in 2013 by the merger of the International Softball Federation and International Baseball Federation and has 208 members in 141 countries and territories.
