What a great start to the 2025 season with junior competition kicking off!
The action began with Dragons Tyre Power facing Dunbar Awsum Angels, resulting in a tie of 10 all.
Alanna Counsell and Lachlan Mikle each picked up two walks, while Ruben Tassan had two ripper hits to score runs for the Dragons. Ruben also did a great job on the mound with two strikeouts. Eli Neilson led the way for Dunbar, slamming a home run, while Tristian Hillier and Payton Roderique each picked up two walks. Young Zac Hargrave was on the mound for the Angels, recording two strikeouts.
Dragons powered past NTH Jacklin Chaos with a 15–3 win.
Levi Counsell was the only Dragon to cross home plate three times. Sam Colless and Sienna Kitto each picked up two walks to get on base. Great pitching from the cousin duo Noah and Boyd Baxter led the Dragons to victory. Darcy Oslanger and Frankie Corbett were the standout players for the Angels, with Darcy getting two base hits and both Frankie and Darcy crossing home to add scores. Harry Oslanger and Frankie pitched a great game.
Joey Ball was split into two groups, with Kirsty Zammit taking the baby Joeys. Parents and grandparents helped the coaches show new skills and have fun with the future little softballers.
Rookie Ball had a huge turnout for the day, learning new skills and playing great games.
Despite the heat, they battled through, and at the end of the game, they were treated with a splash in the sprinklers to cool down.
Next week, games will start at 8:45 a.m. for the U/14s.
