Junior Match Reports - 23 May
Rookie ball V VS Waverley Blackcats
20 - 20 Draw
Terrific performance from our boys today. Waverley are a strong team, great fielders and some big hitters, but the boys fought it out for a well earnt draw.
At the bottom of the 5th, we needed 5 runs to tie the match. Under pressure, Jobe hit a powerful double which got 2 players home.
Sawyer, he owned 3rd base today.
As such, they were players of the match.
Jobe lead from the front (as all captains should)
- Batting - 2 runs with 2 doubles.
- Fielding - At second base, he took a great flyball catch. At pitcher, he fielded 2 grounders and made throws to Daniel (third base) and Ryder (first base) getting 2 outs.
Sawyer
- Batting - 3 runs.
- Fielding - Whilst third base, he took throws from Jordan and Harvey getting 2 outs. Then he fielded a line drive and ran to base running out the batter - 3 outs for the team.
Oliver
- Batting - 1 run and got 2 base hits getting others home.
- Fielding - Stopped 2 doubles at centre field.
Harvey
- Batting - 4 runs (equal highest)
- Fielding - Shortstop, he almost took a great fly ball but kept his composure fielding the ball and running to base getting the batter out (second time he's done that this season). Then he got a tag just before the batter got to third base. When he was fielding at third base, he fielded a ground ball and ran to his base getting the batter out.
- He rolled his ankle in the bottom of the 4th but soldiered on to finish the game.
Leon
- Batting - 2 runs. At the bottom of the fifth, he ran bases like his life depended on it which made all the difference at the end.
Jordan
- Batting - 4 runs (equal highest).
- Fielding - Pitcher, he made 2 throws to Sawyer at third base and Jesse at first base, getting 2 outs for the team.
Daniel
- Batting - 3 runs.
- Fielding - At third base, he took a throw from Jobe getting the player out.
Jesse
- Batting - 1 run.
- Fielding - First base, he took a throw from Jordan getting the player out. Then he fielded a ground ball and ran to first base getting the player out.
Ryder
- Batting - He was the only player today who didn't get out. He got 5 base hits getting others home but didn't get home himself (such is baseball).
- Fielding - At first base, he took a throw from Jobe to get the player out.
When you add up all these little things, you can see how much each player contributes to the team.
Little League Majors
Saints 5 – Doncaster 13.
Alex had his first go at pitching this season, starting on the mound. His recent hard work showed with increased velocity and some good endurance.
Toby caught for the first time this season and looked good behind the plate, making some rocket throws to 2nd & 3rd getting one caught stealing.
Joseph led off the batting, drawing two gutsy walks and scoring both times.
Blake got a big hit to right field, getting to 2nd before a couple of errors led to him dashing home scoring a run and a couple of RBI’s.
Rhys pitched well again, throwing consistent strikes but unfortunately we let him down a bit with the defence and couldn’t get the outs.
Braden came in to finish off the pitching and did well, throwing hard and getting the side out for only 1 run including starting off with a great strikeout.
Despite the loss we continue to improve and team morale remains high with a great bunch of kids having fun and playing some good baseball.
