In the next round of 16 of this competition, the Proud Shield, we played Rouse Hill High School at our local ground, Waterboard Oval, Blackalls Park on Wednesday 14.8.19.
The 6 innings game was played with good sportsmanship and fairness. The boys must be congratulated on their game play and level of respect shown to the opposition. Toronto proved the victors 8-1.
We were led by our Year 12 boys, who took time out of their Trial HSC study to play. Liam Purcell has taken the year off his weekend baseball to concentrate on his study, but pitched the entire game for us, which included a massive 9 strike outs. Kynan Harding scored a home run from a drive down the first base line into the outfield. Angus Ping and Joel Borrow each got home twice and Alex Russell, Blake Nicholls and Zane Howarth also got home. Outfield fly balls were taken by Luke Croquett and Alex Russell. Alex also organised the outfield players while Zane hussled the infielders. Our only injury of the day was an awkward bounce taken by Cameron Mott on the arm. He also has the ball stitch marks on the arm to show for his efforts.
It was a team result.
Well done, boys on a terrific result!
Now we face The Rivers College in our next game.
