Weekly Wrap Up - Issue 3

A much better report this week to last. Danni Ramadan joined us this week to give us 9 players with Mel behind the plate again.
First inning was scoreless for both teams, although Ejays had one safe hit, they were struck out three times and didn't score the runner. Syndal had three ground outs and a walk. Similarly, in the second inning, EJays had only three batters face Sarah and all sat down following a strikeout, two of them being watched. Syndal managed to get bases loaded with a single from Kate, a double from Mel and an error for Danni, but still we didn't score.

EJays third inning had a little more action, with a dubious safe call at first followed by a missed double play led by Miki. Fortunately a well placed Audrey managed to keep the inning scoreless as her throw to first beat the batter-runner. Syndal came out firing for their third inning with three consecutive singles from Jess, Sarah and Kate. Kate got to second on her hit as the EJays pitcher threw to an empty first base. A sac fly from Mel brought Sarah home. Nat hit to shortstop who fumbled the ball allowing Kate to reach third and then Nat took on the catcher's arm by stealing second - she beat the throw and Kate reached home as EJays appeared to forget she was at third.

The next three and half innings were less colourful. EJays managed one safe hit and Syndal had three to Miki, Sarah and Danni with a sac bunt to Audrey, but no runs. In the battle of the pitchers (Over 35 to Titans) - Sarah won the strikeout challenge 14-5 with 7 being watched for Sarah.

Syndal had 8 hits to EJays 3.
