Stormy weather
It started so strong for Flamestorm…
Match report in:
It was going to be hard to match up to the undefeated ILM ‘Rebel Bases’. After Tuesday’s downpours we arrived to a surprisingly dry pitch and got into the first innings, scoring first… Never ones to take the easy route through these things we were 3 in, 3 out in the first innings and on the back foot thanks to the Rebels’ well-drilled fielding.
It took until the 3rd innings to open our scoring; solid runs from Aaron, Nik, Puff and Jakub. ILM continued to score consistently, our only other run coming from a home run at the top of the 6th from Captain Smith.
In the last 2 innings we came apart a little in the field just as the Rebels found their swing, leading to 18 runs and a final score of Flamestorm 5 – 30 Rebel Bases. Sadly, the score doesn’t convey how close this one felt.
Special mention to Aimee, who did a great job at catcher as well as getting a nice hit on the board, and our newest member Jakub (also this week’s MVP), both doing great in their debut games.
We did manage to redeem ourselves in the post game ‘boat race’, a 5 vs. 5 drinking relay. We won by a hefty margin, so I think we can call the night a draw overall. [Cheers to THAT]
Next week: we’ll be hoping to take the sting out of the ‘Bees’ from Nectar on Pitch 12. And coming up: VFX Summer Softball Tournament, 7 July, against ILM, DNeg and MPC 👊
