⚾️Saints Seniors Round Up!⚾️
⚾️Div 8: Saints v Saints
It was the battle of the 2 St Marys Division 8 teams. Both teams were left short with players out for the long weekend. The score remained very close throughout the innings. The turning point of the game was when Josh Payne's amazing diving catch in the outfield was denied by the umpire. Highlights of the match:
* Stand up triple by Dylan Maxwell
* Decent pitching by all pitchers - Aaron Merritt, Rob Slarke, Dave Napier and Shane Fowler.
It was a close game but it was the fielding errors in the end which got St Marys Smith the win. Score 13 to 9
Huge congratulations to Joel and Sarah Boulter on the new addition to the Saints family, a beautiful baby girl 🩷

The St Mary's Saints produced a remarkable comeback victory on the weekend, overcoming an early 6-2 deficit to defeat the Mt Druitt Lions 11-6 at PVH.
The Lions came out swinging and built a strong lead through the opening two innings, but the Saints refused to back down. The momentum began to shift with a brilliant solo double play at second base from Rob, followed by an outstanding catch from Michelle, who held onto a difficult fly ball while staring directly into the afternoon sun. Strong support from the outfield helped keep runners stranded and prevented the Lions from extending their lead.
On the mound, Dave delivered two solid innings to keep the Saints within striking distance before handing the ball to Dan. In a dominant display, Dan shut down the Lions in the fifth inning, striking out three batters from just 11 pitches to help seal the victory.
The Saints' bats came alive when it mattered most. Dan and Rob both collected doubles, while Kiah impressed on both sides of the ball with a strong effort at first base before stealing second base with determination and speed. Riley, Amy and Nathan also showed tremendous courage at the plate, each wearing a hit-by-pitch to get on base and keep the pressure on the Lions. Dave demonstrated plenty of endurance, powering around the bases to score after an impressive three-base run.
Michelle played a crucial role in the comeback, advancing two runners in the fourth inning and helping bring the Saints within touching distance of the lead.
The game was ultimately decided by a huge fifth inning from St Mary's, with six runs crossing the plate to complete the comeback and secure an 11-6 victory.
A fantastic team effort from everyone involved and another great example of the Saints fighting spirit. Well done Saints! ⚾
