Welcome back to Jess for her first game, who played despite being injured. Mel GC was also back providing support behind the plate.
From an offensive perspective, Syndal had nothing outstanding to report. We only managed to get five players to first base. Three from safe hits for Steph, Sarah M and Rose, a fielder's choice for Kate and a dropped third strike to Miki but, unfortunately, none of these managed to move further than second base.
United's page in the scorebook was a little more colourful. They scored 5 runs (2 green and 3 red), but fortunately another five were missed, with United leaving them in scoring positions.
Sarah did throw 10 strikeouts, but was pipped this week in the strikeout challenge. United's two pitchers threw 11 - 6 to their young pitcher and 5 to the new US player.
Let's hope winning ways are back with Syndal next week.
