1st Grade:- We are Undefeated on top of the 1st grade table. Again we broke the Wildcats hearts in the 9th inning. Again there was one run in it and again it was another great team performance. Although Coach Booth wasn’t all that impressed with the batting efforts, credit does go to the Wildcats pitcher, who kept our batters at bay.
Our fielding was faultless with Scott Sharman, Kurt Eden and Matty Smith making some of the more important outs. Dylan Lees was our star, pitching 8 2/3 and keeping the Wildcats batters guessing from the 1st to the last pitch. The most exciting part of the match was also the most nerve racking. In the bottom of the 9th when we were down 2-1 Super sub Matt Cashman lead off with a double, then Damo Kingman got a walk. Scotty Sharman then dropped down a sac bunt, which advanced the runners. Dylan Mc Master had a chance to tie the game, but was unlucky to be struck out swinging. With 2 out, Todd Bowden stepped up to the plate and although their catcher told their pitcher to intentionally walk him, the Wildcats pitcher had the confidence to finish the game. Todd just had the determination to hit in the winning runs, which he did, 1st pitch sent screaming down the third base line. Game over. Hearts broken, but not ours. Well done boys.
