Summary:
A fantastic end to a great weekend for the Club.
Special thanks to Peter and Amanda and everyone else who put together a memorable night on Friday. The night was well supported by our senior players but none showed the effects of a big night on Saturday with 2 wins from 2 games.
The 1sts put in an all round solid team performance with plenty of unselfish baseball resulting in a big win.
Yoshi was driven on the mound and got ahead from the start he ended with 9 strike outs from 18 hitters. Importantly, we learnt from the previous week, no walks, and no errors and always ahead in the count resulted in 0 runs to the second placed team.
Our hitters teamed well, 7 players had hits including 3 from 3 for Tim. We decided to bunt early with rain approaching and Billy was first to lay down a successful bunt, Speedy put another down in the last which helped our 9 th run into scoring position.
Another tough game next week against the 4 th. placed team, let’s all get down to training and keep the momentum going.
Training Thursday night at North Balwyn - 6.30pm.
2nd nine vs Waverley - Lost 4-4
A great team effort this week as everyone contributed to an 8-6 win over LaTrobe Uni to show all we are in the hunt for the flag this year. The start to this game saw LaTrobe getting 2 guys on in the first dig and our tough defence not giving up a run. We came back to score 4 in the bottom of the dig to gain a solid position in the early stages. Another outstanding performance from Aaron on the mound going 3 innings and giving up 4 runs on 3 hits with 2 strike outs. Alex came in to relieve and had a solid outing as well for 2 innings giving up 2 runs on 2 hits with 4 strikeouts and even though LaTrobe was threatening in the bottom of the last inning with bases loaded he struck out 2 of the 3 to finish strong. Chao, Aaron and Sam getting timely hits to drive in runs was the offensive key to this game as we came through with hits when needed although we still left 6 stranded so this is something we need to improve on. Fantastic effort by Jack behind the plate as he blocked everything that came his way again. Good win guys – keep up the good work and we will finish strong.
Hits –Aaron – 2, Alex, Chao, Sam, Nick - 1
RBIs –Chao Aaron & Sam – 2, Alex – 1
