Match Report from our Junior Firsts catcher/pitcher Verity Haslam (Year 9)
Pymble 2 Softball team had two memorable wins against Abbotsleigh (10-8) and Loreto Normanhurst (13-2) on Saturday 11 March at Pymble. The day was hot, and the girls came out strong. In the first game against Abbotsleigh the combination of Zoe Bloom (Year 8) as pitcher and Verity Haslam (Year 9) as catcher were a formidable force and they managed to strike several players out.
Ruby Watson (Year 8) on first base also secured numerous outs with some nimble footwork and good catches. In the second game against Loreto Normanhurst there was some fabulous batting by Isabel Donald (Year 9) and Akshara Bhattacharya (Year 7). Annabel Taylor (Year 8) who was catcher for this game who had some great pickups and good throws. All in all, team spirit was high for the duration of the games, and we are now looking ahead to next week’s final game of the season before finals.
