Wow! What an AWESOME display!! You would never have guessed with this scoreline just how horrible and wet the weather was!

Julie did a good job on the plate, generally keeping pretty good control in the wet weather. She was able to shut down the opposition, giving up only 2 hits (which both fell in between the infield and outfield) and 2 walks with 2 strikeouts. In contrast to the 27 at bats out team had in only 3 innings, Julie managed to be faced with only 12 batters.

I think the saying for this week is "Isn't it nice when everything just works?!" The girls just really clicked together this week, and the team played a fantastic game. If we can maintain this standard for the season, we'll be giving things a fair shake.

The batting performance from the team was excellent with every single player crossing home plate at least once. Reimi started us off with a fantastic running bunt to get on base. Some aggressive base running and a good hit to rightfield from Lauren brought her home to get us started on the scoreboard.

Whilst the scoreline may not reflect it, this was actually quite a good game. Considering there were a number of new faces to the line up for this year (including mine!), and a number of players returning to the club after a break, this group of girls put on a great team performance. Julie, our new pitching recruit, threw a great game (despite what the ump may have thought!), and did really well to stick with it in a tough situation.
