There is a Heritage Game dinner the night before, at The Clyde Hotel, corner of Elgin and Cardigan Street in Carlton from 6:30 pm.
Hope you can all make it!

UMBC recently heard about the passing of Dave Schlenker, one of the club’s most well respected coaches and members. Dave will be farewelled on on Thursday 7th June at Abbey Funerals (238 Settlement Road, Thomastown). Viewing from 2pm with the main service and blessing at 3pm. Tea, coffee and biscuits served following the main service. UMBC sends our condolences for Dave, a man widely loved and respected among the baseball fraternity.
This weeks Play of the Week goes to Nick Bertelli and Jason McDonald in the Firsts. Nick Bertelli caught a fly ball in Centre Field and made a great throw back to first where Jason made the tag to turn it into a double play!
I would have liked to see that!
Congratulations to Nick and Jason. This must have been a stand out play in what I’ve heard was a below average day for the Firsts, losing 18-2.

So congratulations to Christian!
