Secondary Division 2

The sparkling Div 2 team were back in action on a sunny Saturday morning. The reigning premiers started off slowly and were down 3-6 at the bottom of the second. The game quickly turned during our bat in the 3rd inning where the girls put 5 runs in the book and never looked back. Glen Heights put up a great fight and came back again in the top of the last inning but the girls showed strength in the field to shut them down with two strike outs and a beautiful catch in right field by Katie Hopkins. The girls then backed it up in the box firing in another six runs to seal the victory.

The game opened with Raiders being very disciplined in the batters box, making Sam work really hard on the pitchers plate. Raiders scored four runs before Sam got us out of a tough spot with 2 strike outs in a row to end their turn at bat.

Well done girls! Another fantastic win for the Falcons with flashes of brilliance displayed throughout the game, tight defence and another amazing performance in the batters box, not to mention every player getting safe on base at least once!

What can I say, what a massive day around the bases! The girls smashed the ball around the park and kept the runs coming in with extremely aggressive baserunning. The agility shown from Maddy was outstanding, having to dodge wild throws to get on base safely! Abby gave an impressive performance going 3 from 3 in the box, while Emira showed us how to hit the ball with a beautiful home run to centerfield which began the seven run haul in the second innings.
