Results – Round 17

BM Tigers 20 def Guild 0

The last game of the regular home and away season saw the Tiger’s (top of the ladder) host Guild (bottom of the ladder).  The game was played to win by both sides with a friendly approach between the teams.

Tiger’s leading pitcher, Shiori Hoshino, locked out Guild for the first three innings, no hits no runs and one walk.  Nathan Williamson then took over the pitching and likewise, no hits or runs.

The Tigers took to the pitching of Guild’s Stephen More ending up with a total 15 hits, and 20 runs.  Both Nathan Gell and Jon Bell hit a triple and a double, with six others getting at least one single each. Bronwyn Gell had three singles from three plate approaches.

**This Saturday is the first round of finals for the Geelong Baseball Association, the Tigers will most probably play against Alfredton at home, start time to be announced.

A special end of season ‘thank you’ to the clubs volunteers Hudson Bell – Batboy, Scott Wentworth – Canteen, Dean Wallace – Scoring, Rob Gell – Assistant Coach, plus many other.  Thanks to Ray White (Bacchus Marsh), Bacchus Marsh Community Bank, and Foodworks for their sponsorship. Without these volunteers and sponsors the club would not survive.

BM Tigers are planning to run some summer programs, in particular Baseball for All and juniors programs.
