WHILE some of us got to spend the weekend at the state softball conference in Brisbane, others still had the nitty gritty job of playing and coaching in the brisk conditions at Caboolture.
The under 15s were greeted with a forfeit, while the Whites had a loss in the under 17s and the Blacks won their under 17s game.
Batting first, the Blacks scored one run with Riley hitting another home run, while their opponents the Comets left with no runs – leaving Noosa up one-nil after the first.
The second innings saw Noosa hit their stride with the bat with all nine players crossing the plate highlighted by Shinai’s home run. In reply, the Comets managed just one run to take the scores to 12 -1 to Noosa.
The third saw the Comets hit back, getting Noosa out without scoring but Noosa returned the favour keeping their opponents to nil to see the score remain 12-1.
The fourth included a three bagger from Riley, while Cody scored a two bagger to give Noosa three runs again keeping the Comets scoreless.
In the field, Josh got two put outs while Riley took three catches and rolled a double to complete a pretty good game and Emma had a go at pitching – an all-round good team game especially in the second when they scored 11 runs.
Meanwhile, the men had a win 9-7 against the Demons. Josh, Kane, Leigh and Cody all had safe base hits to help the score tick over.
William and Kane both took catches to help out in the field.
A good day for Noosa again and thanks to all those who helped out while others were in Brisbane at the meeting.
Next week sees the washed out games being played on Sunday, so we will have two days of softball.
