Season 2008 Game 12: Hammers

Once again we had a solid performance throughout the game scoring in all but our last at bat for a total of 27 runs. Our defence lifted on the back of our new found TEAM BATTING ability and we held our opponents to a miserly 5 runs until their last batting innings.

Alas, once again the “shit hit the fan” and we found ourselves struggling to hold off a late charge from the Hammers as they hammered our defence and began an effortless scoring spree. Finally after numerous pitching changes we managed to stop the onslaught and get the three outs required to bring up our third win.

Brewers 27 v Hammers 22

Defence

Our defence was exceptional beginning with our battery (Al to Brett) leading the way. It was well supported by our infield with Sapi having a blinder on 3rd base. The outfield was in a mean mood and ran down many hits which quite simply stopped the extra bases our opposition have been getting in previous games. A great effort by all and following our “tour of duty” lets take ensure we take this approach into our next game against the Rangers.

Offence

A total turn around here as everyone stepped up to the plate with a “CAN DO - WILL DO” attitude. Everyone looked for and executed signals throughout the day and when we had runners on base the hitters at the plate did the job by ensuring runners advanced. As a result everyone crossed the plate and have RBIs against their performance.

Batting

Brett as our lead off did an excellent job with 5 hits from 6 at bats and set the tempo for the game as we continued to hit throughout the lineup. With a team batting average of 690 (34 from 49) and no one under 500 it was a great day out. We must continue to build on this performance over the coming weeks.

Best Batting

Frizz 5/5 & Shells 2/2 1000, Brett 5/6 833, Sapi 4/5 800,

Plays of the Day

Sapis effort at 3rd and the outfield’s ability to run down hits and back each other up,

Congratulations to our Newlyweds: Brett & Raylene - May all their worries be only LITTLE ONES!!!!!!!
