All games at Parrs Wood

03/09/15 Thunder

It took us a couple of innings to settle into this game and in the end that slow start cost us the chance of a win, but once we had found our feet we made some nice plays and showed that we could compete with a team that had already won the league before the game started.

Shawn and JD were the OBP leaders, each going 3 for 3, with Ed best of the rest, going 3 for 4. Dave enjoyed pitching but could not hit for toffee. Shawn, Sam, Ed and JD all made nice plays in the outfield. One of our best best plays of the night, a catch 'em out tag 'em out double play was controversially expunged by the umpire who retrospectively decided he should have called an infield fly but we did also turn one or two more nice double plays.

All the best to Lee, who picked up a nasty leg injury and thanks to Andy Grose, who came out of the crowd to help us in our hour of need.

13/08/15 Outlaws

We played well against a strong Outlaws team but whilst we hung in there for most of the game we never managed to take a lead and the Outlaws deserved their win. OBP leader was Harry who went 3 for 3. Home Run Heroes were Lee, Mike G. and Michael M. with one apiece. Chris pitched well yet again and the whole team worked hard in the field with the best of the bunch being Vince who looked good again at 2nd.

23/07/15 Phoenix

Holidays, and injuries meant we had a number of new faces in the line-up for our second fixture and we played out a close game that was decided by one inning of impressive hitting by Phoenix.

Batting leaders were Matt, Lee and Chris who all went 3 for 4 with Chris also supplying the power with a pair of Home Runs. Vince had a fine game at second. Shawn caught balls here there and everywhere in the outfield. Chris put in a strong performance as pitcher and Steve did a fine job as Catcher getting a couple of good outs at the plate. JD also looked good in the outfield, rounding off his first week of competitive Softball in impressive fashion.

02/07/15 Sharks

It appeared to be a bit too wet for the Men in Black at the start of our first game. We looked OK defensively but scoring runs seemed an alien concept. Happily once the sun came out we began to apply ourselves and batted our way to an ultimately comfortable win.

Batting percentage leader was Mike G. who batted 1000 (3 for 3) and also hit our biggest hit of the night, a triple in the bottom of the 5th that set up the big inning that ultimately gave us the win. Best of the rest in OBP were Matt and Anthony who each went 3 for 4.

In the field Chris pitched a good game and also fielded his position well. Ed caught everything in left field. Rob was initially shaky in the outfield but played really well after switching to 1st. Anthony and Vince worked well as a middle infield pair and Matt did well on 3rd. Everyone else worked hard and kept the Sharks down to 1 run in the last 3 innings, the 1-5-3 double play that ended the bottom of the 5th was highlight reel stuff.
