Week 7
This week’s games started on Thursday afternoon in which our Senior First girls played a mid-week game against Barker College. Even though the girls lost 12 to 4, they put up a good fight against a very experienced Barker team.
Moving on to Saturday’s games, we started early Saturday morning with our Senior First team playing against Loreto Normanhurst here at Pymble. The girls displayed a very dominant performance on the field, winning the game 16 to 4. We had a great combined pitching performance from Zoe Bloom (Year 10) and Madeline Taylor (Year 12) while the team played a great defensive game behind them.
Then we had our Pymble 2 team play against Loreto Normanhurst 2, also at Pymble, in which they showed great fight and determination. The girls ended with a draw, the score being 7 all, in which they displayed great team batting while also making some great defensive plays throughout the game.
Our Pymble 3 team started their day over at Abbotsleigh, where they ended up winning 9 to 5 against Abbotsleigh 2. Annabel Taylor (Year 10) and Varada Vinay (Year 10) had a great game pitching and catching while Ruby Watson (Year 10) led the offense with her home run late in the game.
Our Pymble 4 team played against Loreto Normanhurst 4, and even though the girls lost 19 to 4, the score didn’t reflect the little victories they experienced. The girls had a great offensive display, with Tanvi Raniga (Year 7) having an especially good game, and it was highlighted with some of their defensive plays coming from Nina Peng (Year 7) that stopped runners from advancing.
Lastly, we had a little bit of Pymble rivalry as our Pymble 2 and Pymble 3 team faced off against each other. Even though Pymble 2 was out in front early, it was Pymble 3 that ended up clinching the win with a score of 10 to 5. Truly an exciting game!
Team of the Week
Pymble 3 is our team of the week as they won both of their games on Saturday, beating Abbotsleigh 2 and Pymble 2 in a convincing matter.
Next weekend we have our Independent School Softball finals that will take place at International Peace Park, where all four of our Pymble teams will compete in their respective final divisions. Good luck to everyone!
