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.

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.

This weeks winning Play of the Week was by Rory, who won lollies by betting on Zach to get a hit.
So congratulations to Rory, and I hope he cut Zach into his winnings! Seeing as Zach is batting 7 from 12 (at least by his own counting), it was a pretty safe bet.

*PLEASE GAMBLE RESPONSIBLY*
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:
So the winner is Vibs for her Grand Slam! Congratulations on winning the first Play of the Week.
