A Grade

In a tight game, Falcons defeated Brandon Park 2-0 to advance to the Grand Final of the Ausport Classic.

Sharni held the strong Brandon Park hitters quiet scattering 5 hits across 5 innings. Again she did not concede a walk, providing the platform for Ilsa to close out the game with two innings of solid relief.

Shelley got the scoring going with a solo blast in the 4th inning, and was well supported with the bat by Amy (one hit), Hutchy (one hit and scored once) Laura (one hit and an RBI) and Kellie (one hit).

What can you say about this Falcons team? What a talented bunch of players who just mix together so well to achieve great things.

After 4 weekends of games, travel all over the place to play all teams (including the Japanese) included in the draw, and the Falcons girls totally trusted each other and their ability to triumph over Raiders 6-2 in the Ausport Grand Final, and it was a showpiece game in which everyone involved can be proud of the high standard of softball played.

Falcons "WOW" 17 - 0.

When you get going with the bat the way Falcons took off today, all you have to do is encourage the next hitter and wind runners in to the home plate to score.

This was an outstanding performance by the Falcons offence which is not meant to take away from the defensive effort… it's just that there was not that much to do.

Falcons "win ugly" 7 - 6.

After a flat start, the game really came alive in the 6th innings with a number of exciting things happening, most of which are best left to the confines of diamond 1 at Jells Park.

Falcons cruised through the first 5 innings with a 3 - 2 lead when the game exploded with 7 runs being scored in the 7th innings (4 by Glen Eira and 3 by Falcons) to send the game to extra innings.

Falcons win 2 - 0 in a tight game.

In what has become a traditionally tight contest, Falcons overcame Brandon Park 2-0 in Saturday's A Grade encounter.

Led by a very strong performance by Ilsa Wakeling in the middle, Falcons were never really in any trouble. Throwing as hard as she has all year, Ilsa struck out 8 Brandon Park hitters, while conceding 3 scattered hits and 3 walks. It really was a commanding performance!

Falcons stepped out tonight and completed one of the games we had to make up for the Ausport Classic.

In what was an entertaining game, Falcons ran out winners 6-3 on the back of another impressive performance by Sharni Arthur (and I will never get sick of saying that). I will also not get tired of saying that Sharni again refused to concede a walk across 7 innings, four strike outs, allowing 9 hits with Syndal scoring only one earned run.
