Under 15 “Eagles”
Round 6 – GMBC/Greensborough Eagles v Doncaster/ Bundoora/Diamond Creek.

Woke up Saturday morning a little worse for wear. Had a few ‘frothies’ watching the Saints get pumped by the Pies in “Echuca”. The Team Manager was on a mid-season bye. By the time I woke up the Eagles were in battle against Doncaster/ Bundoora/ Diamond Creek.

At ground zero David Kelsey was keeping a close eye on the mound with the pitch count, Julie was all over the score card and Marie Axiak was our roving reporter.

The final score was 12 – 9 our way.

Batting
1st Dig 3 Runs, 2nd 1 Run, 3rd 5 Runs, 4th 3 runs
Matt Stephens cracks one past 1st for a base hit, steals 3 bases with a great slide on home plate to bring in the only run in the 2nd dig.
10 batters in the box for the 3rd dig which results in 5 runs. Mitch Ramsey, James, Matt Stephens, Paul and Mitch Haywood all hit and patient batting from Lachlan,
Claire and Leah result in walks.
In a marathon 4 innings the top order gets the ball rolling with 3 runs. Rambo, Matt Kelsey and Lachlan all crossed home plate.

Fielding
Mitch Ramsey off to a flyer pitching the first two innings for 2 runs.
Matt Stephens the 3rd and half the 4th with Mitch Haywood to hold the opposition to 9 runs.
All well supported in the field with Jack Gee on 1st Leah on 2nd and Rambo calling the shots from behind the plate.

Playing Watsonia and Essendon the next 2 weeks, so we need to bring our “A” game.
