A Grade

In very difficult conditions, with a strong wind blowing out to right-centre, Falcons overcame a spirited Glen Eira 8-2 at Keilor Park in the Ausport Classic.

Sharni backed up her strong performance the day before to limit the Glen Eira hitters to 4 scattered hits and 2 earned runs, while throwing 10 strike outs. Once again, Sharni threw to 25 batters and continues to post numbers that show her to be one of the best going around in Victoria right now. She continues to be very efficient and completed 14 innings over the weekend without conceding a single walk.

Falcons win 3 - 2 in a tight game.

Despite the heat, Falcons remained in charge for the whole game with some strong hitting and many "loud outs".

Once again, Sharni Arthur controlled the tempo of the game and kept all of the Syndal hitters in check. Across 7 completed innings she threw to 25 batters (only 4 over the minimum for a perfect game), allowing 5 hits and no walks with 3 strike outs. The two runs scored by Syndal were both unearned after a couple of late innings (the 7th) errors.

Falcons win 3 - 0 in a game always in control.

Falcons extended their unbeaten run to 9 matches with a 3 - 0 win over Glen Eira. In a game that never really reached great heights, Falcons held control of this match from the first innings by scoring a run to take a 1 - 0 lead.

Again Falcons showed that fast softball is good softball, the game was finished in 70 minutes (6 and a half innings). We are a very efficient team that gets to job done.

Ausport Classic Game 1 vs. Dandenong; Falcons Cruise to 23-0 in 3 innings.

In one of those games that is very hard to measure, Falcons hitters were scintillating in scoring 23 runs for the game to force the "mercy rule" in three innings.

While it must be said that Dandenong did not provide the strongest opposition, it is more a game to ensure we stayed focused and made sure we got the job done in a very efficient way.

Falcons win 5 - 0 in a very clinical performance.

On a day that was hot early, cooled down mid afternoon and had gotten quite hot again by game time, Falcons professionally and efficiently defeated Glen Waverley 5 runs to 0.

Ilsa threw 7 very solid innings of shut-out softball to keep the Glen Waverley bats quiet and Falcons hitters rallied mid game to go to a 3 - 0 lead, and then scored a couple late to seal the win.

Falcons prevail 5 - 4 in a thriller under lights!

In a game that started out in very slow fashion, and finished in a blaze, Falcons defeated Brandon Park 5 - 4.

5 innings slipped by without much happening until Falcons scored in the 6th. Brandon Park equalised in the 7th to take the game to a series of tie-breaker innings. Brandon Park would score and Falcons would respond or we would hold Brandon Park scoreless only to see them do the same.....and on to the next innings we would go.
