Strathalbyn v Redsox - Under 14 Mixed Softball

Redsox started strong in defence with three strike outs, mixed amongst a couple of walks that allowed only two runs across the plate. Charlie Askew took to the pitching stripe, pitching to Poppy Groom, and together they also achieved three K2s, after the first four batters got on base and made it around to score. At the bottom of the first inning, just two runs separated the teams.

In the second inning, Redsox’s experience in the field paid off and they were able to tag out two of Strath’s base-runners. Tallera Spinks was left just short of second base, and Eva Eglitis was tagged out at home.

Tallera then tried her hand at pitching, and tried hard to get the ball through the zone. Redsox took advantage of the strikes with a couple of great outfield hits, including a deep centrefield hit that was chased down by Poppy now in left field. The inning ended with seven runs in for Redsox, with no extra runs for Strathalbyn.

The third and final inning saw Strathalbyn disciplined in the batters box and get through the entire line up to also bring in seven runs. As time drew to a close, Redsox managed one run and one out before time and game was called with Redsox not needing to complete their turn at bat with a safe three run lead. The final result was Redsox 12 defeated Strathalbyn 9.
