Junior Division 3

The Falcons jumped out to a seven run lead in the first innings off sound batting and aggressive base running. Glen Waverley fought back hard and responded with five runs in the bottom of the first dig.

Despite a shaky start the Falcons in-field rose to the occasion making sure that no more Waverley runners would cross home plate on the day. The Falcons added another four runs in the second dig to take their lead out to 11 -5.

The completion of the first inning saw Glen Heights jump out to a five run lead. Good fielding by the Falcons held Heights to just two runs in the top half of the second dig and set the stage for 6 run fight back with strong batting by Grace Novak, Katrina Johns and Katie Hopkins. The third dig ended with game tied up at seven all. Heights were determined to win the contest and scored seven runs in the bottom of the fourth. Fortunately for the Falcons time was on their side and before Heights could get three outs and end the innings time and game was called with the final score a 7 run draw.

Despite the long break over Christmas the Div III Falcons were on fire from the first pitch and cruised to victory off strong pitching from Emily Papadimitriou and solid fielding from all involved. The Blues pitching staff was no match for the Falcons batting machine with solid hitting from Maddie Campbell, Eliza Tivendale and Grace Novak ensuring a productive run tally and another winning story!!

Emily Papadimitriou combined solid pitching and precision batting to lead the Div III team to its 7th straight win of the season against a determined Syndal. Emily went three for three on the day hitting a triple to right field, a single to centre field and a double to left field to end the day with a 1000 batting average!! Safe hits from Wynona Miller, Kate Hopkins, Jess Morrison & Eliza Tivendale sealed Syndal's fate and ensured yet another victory for the Falcons! Special mention goes to Katie Hopkins for her Season 05-06 pitching debut in less than acceptable weather conditions.
