Player of the Week – Round 5

This rounds Player of the Week goes to Noah Bender Bennet for his pitching effort in the 4’s.

He came on while the 4’s were 7 runs down, and shutdown the oppositions offensive completely, as they didn’t score for the remainder of the game!

The 4th’s came back to win 10-7, so it was a great effort by the whole team.

The final nominations and results were:

  1. Noah (5 votes)
  2. Gary Mills, for not giving up an earned run while in relief in the 1’s (2 votes)

The vote was taken on the Facebook group, so if you are interested in being involved, contact James Dann, Sid Paleri or Alan Yang so you can be added to the group.

This weeks winning Play of the Week was by Rory, who won lollies by betting on Zach to get a hit.

The final nominations and results, were:

  • Rory’s Bet (5 votes)
  • 2’s – Millsy fielding a slug-bunt at short range and turning a double (2 votes)
  • Women’s – Vibs making a diving catch and finishing with a commando roll (2 votes)
  • 4’s – Picking a guy off at 1 after he only just made it there on his hit (1 vote)

Play of the Week – Round 4

This week marks the first round of the Play of the Week award. This award is for an individual or group (or even the whole team) for making a particularly good play while fielding, or doing something extraordinary while batting. It can be a great catch to some lucky baserunning that forced some errors. It can also be a tragic play, such as Zach’s ‘almost’ home run last week where he fell over between the bases! Anything that changed the pace of the game, or morale, even momentarily.

This week, the nominations were:

  1. Vibeke Pederson for her Grand Slam in the Womens (6 votes)
  2. Karl Whatham for his instinctive “hold the runner” play in the 3’s (1 vote)
  3. The whole Womens team for winning by Mercy Rule (1 vote)
  4. The 4’s for making a double play (0 votes)

So the winner is Vibs for her Grand Slam! Congratulations on winning the first Play of the Week.
