Under 15's 26/4/14

Round 1 – 26/4/2014
GMBC Under 15 Eagles v Essendon

Prior to the season opener it was great to see both teams line up and pay their respects to the Anzacs.
Thanks Essendon for joining us.

The game was fought out in true Anzac spirit and in the end we went down fighting 5-4.
Bases were loaded in the bottom of the 5th, but unfortunately we were unable to score.
Great to see Claire get on base, not sure who was more excited Claire or her proud parents Julie and Shannon.

Our pitchers on the mound were John and Matt Stephens who both did a great job keeping a well drilled Essendon
to just 5 runs with the support of all fielders.

In the box we had our chances and fought hard.

Congraulations to our 1st gamers Claire, Jeremy and Griffin who all held their own.

Highlights

Joel (Rambo) 2 doubles.
Matt Stephens – Pegged twice at Bat.
John to Matt at 1st for an out.
Matt Kelsey to Matt for an out.
Christian (Catcher) to Rambo at 3rd for an out.
John to Mitch at 1st for an out.

Thanks to Julie / David for scoring and Nikki for keeping the pitch count.

A very promising start to the season with both coaches Taz and Luke full of praise.
