Top two sides continue to dominate
Grand final rematch looks assured in 2022/23 season
Another weekend of baseball in Mount Gambier saw the top two sides again come away with the points. with finals right around the corner winning form is good form and Tigers and Central have shown why they are the sides being talked about in what shapes a likely grand final series rematch. Tigers took on a gallant Federals who have continued to improve week by week under the guidance of coach Matt Nichols.
Tigers welcomed back star player Brodie Foster (pictured left) just in time for finals and the former league medallist picked up to where he left from leading the way with the bat.
Tigers Garth Ransom (pictured right) and Garret Ha joining Foster in leading the way with the bat helping Tigers gather a sizeable lead, just enough to be too far for Federals reach.
The baseball talk was in full swing Friday night with a Federals and Alex Reppin rumoured reunion next season the topic, but for Friday night Reppin threw a great nine inning game for the orange and black with just one hit against his name.
Federals again, showing a rapid improvement and a game where many thought it would be a one sided affair proved to be a classic with just a four run victory to Tigers. Brodie Foster, Reppin and Nugget Ransom leading the way for Tigers in a match winning combination of hits.
In the Saturday afternoon game, it was Central far to strong for South in a huge victory and a continued dominance for season 2022/2023 to date
