1st Nine vs Latrobe University - Lost 7-8
The 1sts have gone down to top placed Latrobe University at Myrtle Park in a tight finishing game. With a bye in all lower grades and juniors all eyes were on the main game and it didn't disappoint in terms of a spectical. In something which is becoming a pattern, the Stingers made a terrible start to the game and in the top of the first the Stingers committed 3 errors, which combined with a few hits to Latrobe allowed 7 runs.
Although a long way behind after the top of the first there was a long way to go and Coach David Keyhoe urged the team to remain calm and continue to make good at bats to keep the pressure on Latrobe. After that the Stingers hit straight back scoring 1 run.
After the first innings errors, the team picked it up and held Latrobe Uni scoreless for the next three innings while at the same time, good team batting scored, 2, 0 and 4 runs respectively. Heading into the last the Stingers had managed to tie up the game after being behind 7-0. In the last a lead off hit to Latrobe brought a pitching change and David Keyhoe was brought on to close the game. But it was not to be as the top placed team got it done and managed the go ahead run on a throw to second base attempting to throw out a stealing runner. In the bottom of the last needing one run to draw and 2 to win the Stingers could not come up with the hits needed and went down.
After 11 rounds, the Stingers remain in 3rd place with a cruicial game against 4th place next week against Reservoir at home at Myrtle Park.

2nd Nine vs Latrobe University - Lost 3-5
This was a fantastic day for baseball and the North Balwyn Stingers as we had a grand day unveiling the new logo, the only thing that could have made it better was to come home with a couple of wins however it was not to be on this day. With byes across the board except for the 1s and 2s we had a huge bench this week as reward for all the boys who have been doing a great job throughout the year for their respective teams. James started on the hill this week struggling a bit while going 2 innings giving up 4 runs on 4 hits with 4 walks and 2 strike outs. We then brought in Nick going 4 innings giving up 2 runs on 2 hits with 3 walks, and 2 strike outs. We played a pretty good defensive game but the difference was at the bat as we were out hit this week 6-4 while leaving 7 base runners stranded.
We are at home again this week against Reservoir so let's get prepared.
Training Thursday night followed by our traditional pizza feast.
Hits Gary 2, Paul & Chao 1.
RBIs Gary - 2, Paul 1.
