2nd grade Vs Indians
Rebels won 6-2
Our only win of the day but what a great win it was.
Most of the match we were up 2 nil, with a great pitching duel between Ben " have you seen my shoe,pants and hat" Ardrey and Ken McInnes. It may be hard to believe but both teams only had 3 hits a piece in 6 innings, 2 of our 3 hits came in the first 4 batters of the game with Chad Roberts hitting a double and Dylan McMaster a single. Our other hit was to Matt Cashman who scored off an error, we got our next 4 runs quite easily.
Dylan McMaster was solid behind the plate.

Another One Slip's
3rd grade Vs Indians
Indians won 9-5
An unhappy day for 3rd grade, again leading until the last dig.
We came into the bottom of the 4th 5-4 up, but Indians determined batters found some gaps and after a few hits and a walk they scored 4 runs and the game was gone.
Fight hard boys (and Sam) you are all better than this so let's get behind 3rd Grade this week Vs Wildcats.

4th Grade Vs Indians
Indians won 15-4
I'm sure the boys would be happy to put this game in the "never to be mentioned file." The Indians side unfortunately turned up ready to play and had 9 runs given to them in the 1st dig. Doug Smith pitched hard, but the in form Tribe had other ideas. We managed to beat them 6-2 on the last outing, but this time things were to be very different. The boys tried hard but once errors crept into the game the Indians capitalized.

Wasn't Our Day
5th grade Rebels lost to the Mohawks 7 - 5.
Going for our 4th straight win we came into this game fairly confident. While we were never out of the game, we struggled to string hits together.
The umpire didn't help with some unusual calls which(to say it nicely) frustrated our pitcher.
Rod Travis was our standout with the bat, while Josh Peterson fielded well at short. The Mohawks who are leading the league got a few safe hits and scored runs early. We managed to score 1 or 2 runs each dig but it wasn't enough, and we went down 7-5.
We never stopped trying, they were just too good for us on the day.

Bears Give Us A Scare
1st Grade:- Bears put up a courageous effort against Rebels but were eventually overpowered 15-8.
Bears led for much of the game thanks to great pitching from Michael Black and Sean Doudle backed up by their field with solid performances from Tony Andrews, Raymond Soo and Phil O'Donnel. Bears batting was also solid throughout the line up getting consistent hits through the first 6 innings.
Joel Hudons on the mound for Rebels eventually shut them down and good clutch hitting from Chad Roberts, Josh Ardrey, Todd Bowden, Kurt Eden and Nathan Young got Rebels the lead in the last few innings. The stand out performance on the day was from Bear's Brendan Eather who, backing up from a five hit game in 2nd Grade caught some great outfield catches and went 4 from 4 in first grade.

Rebels Shine On A Miserable Day
5th grade Rebels played well in defeating the 2nd placed Wooducks 6 - 3.
In a game the was interrupted twice by rain , the Rebels started well with the bat scoring 4 runs in the 1st dig, 2 in the 2nd but could not score any in the 3rd dig. It was lucky the Wooducks had a bad day with the bat suffering 8 strike outs in their 4 innings.
The play of the day must go to Becc Bowden who unselfishly replaced herself so the pitcher who was due to have a half game could continue in such a tight game. How good would sport be if everyone played the game with that sort of team spirit.
Everyone is playing well and lets hope we can keep our run going against the competition leaders this week.

Rebels Can Play On Water
5th grade Rebels again have bragging rights over the Royals with a 13-9 win.
The field was like a swamp with puddles of smelly stale water all over the out field but everyone played strongly to keep our winning run going.
Lachlan Smith had his first start on the mound and showed our regular pitcher he better stay on his toes because Lachlan can certainly throw some heat.
