Week 5

Round 5 of the Independent School Softball Competition took place this past Saturday with four of our Pymble teams competing. 

We started off nice and early on Saturday morning, with our Pymble 3 team playing against Central Coast Grammar School here at Pymble, in which they won 11 to 5. It was a great game that was led by Anabelle Taylor’s (Year 10) pitching performance on the mound and was continued through the team’s impressive offensive display with many extra base hits. The team also showed great enthusiasm and spirit on and off the diamond, which was reflected through their exciting victory.  

Then we had our Senior First team play against Abbotsleigh at Abbotsleigh, where they had a convincing win of 15 to 2. The game was highlighted by Zoe Bloom (Year 10) who had another great pitching performance, accompanied by the girls’ great show of team hitting.

We then had our Pymble 2 team play against Tara 1 here at Pymble. Even though the team lost 18 to 7, there were many great moments that showed resilience and hard work throughout the game such as Sofia Altorf’s (Year 11) home run in the second inning, which allowed the girls to run rule that inning.

Finally, we had our Pymble 4 team that played against Abbotsleigh 4. The girls came out firing from the beginning as they scored early in the game, but unfortunately lost 9 to 11 in the end. However, this was the most runs that the girls have scored all season with a standout performance from Samadhi Wanniarachchi (Year 7) who got on base at every bat and scored each time she was on base. It was such an exciting game to watch.  

Team of the week

Our Pymble 3 team is our team of the week as they had a great victory over Central Coast Grammar School and showed a great amount of skill improvement as well as positivity throughout the game.  

In the upcoming week, we will see our Senior first team with a bye, both Pymble 2 and Pymble 3 teams playing on the road, and our Pymble 4 team playing here at Pymble.       

Good luck everyone!
