Tigers roar in second round

Bacchus Marsh Baseball

The Bacchus Marsh Tigers travelled to Ballarat and took on Alfredton A’s for round two of the season, a matchup between 2nd and 3rd on the ladder.

James Bailey led off the batting for the Tigers making a strong start hitting a single to centre field. This set the tone for the day, with the Tigers earning two runs in the first innings then an additional three in the second for a good lead of five runs to none.

Alfredton’s Dan Hamilton took over pitching in the 3rd innings and held the Tigers with some very good pitching until the 7th when the Tiger’s scored another two runs.

Shiori Hoshino pitching for the Bacchus Marsh did not allow Alfredton to score until the 5th innings when they got on the board with a credible three runs. Then Tigers steadied and finished the game with James Bailey pitching and no more runs allowed, both pitchers were strongly supported by catcher Bronwyn Gell and the final score of the game was a winning seven to three for the Tigers.
