Week 6
Round 6 of the Invitation Independent Schools Softball competition took place this past Saturday with Pymble having three of our four teams competing.
We started early Saturday morning with our Pymble 4 team playing against Tara 2. Even though our girls lost the game 14 to 5, there were many standout moments that made this game exciting to watch. Samadhi Wanniarachchi (Year 7) did a great job on the mound and was involved in a great double play along with Jane Watson (Year 7), and Baheshta Rahmoni (Year 8) showed great baserunning that helped secure the girls’ runs. Overall, the girls had a great game with loads of catches and lots of enthusiasm.
Next, we had our Pymble 3 team play against Loreto Normanhurst 2 here at Pymble. This was an exciting game to watch as our girls beat Loreto 14 to 7, with many of the girls having some highlight moments. Ariana Ziolkowski (Year 11) had a great game behind the plate, while both Anabelle Taylor (Year 10) and Lana Toa (Year 8) doing an amazing job pitching this week. We also had Anabelle hit a home run in the beginning of the second inning, lighting a spark for both Isabel Donald (Year 11) and Ariana who hit doubles that same inning. The team really showed up to play this weekend.
Finally, we had our Pymble 2 team travel to play Danebank, where they won their game 14 to 10. The girls showed a great amount of energy and game awareness as they managed to get three outs in every inning that they played while also displaying a great amount of team hitting. We also had Sophia Wu (Year 11) who had a great game on the mound, throwing lots of strikes which allowed her team to get outs behind her. Overall, they showed great teamwork and determination, gaining a very exciting win.
Team of the Week
Pymble 3 is our team of the week after their dominant win over Loreto Normanhurst 2 in which they showed a great display of both offensive and defensive power.
Week 7 sees all our teams playing their last round games before finals. Pymble 1 has a midweek game, and then we will see all our Pymble teams play on Saturday. Pymble 1, Pymble 2 and Pymble 3 will play at home while our Pymble 4 team is on the road.
Good luck to everyone!
