IT was a mixed weekend for Noosa in the softball with the Under15s recording a loss and a draw against Caboolture in a double-header over the weekend.
A bit chilly but perfect conditions greeted the players at Caboolture on Saturday and Sunday. The first game saw Demons beat the Noosa team 7-5. Demons had a good third innings, scoring six of their runs. Noosa was not at their best with three fielding errors.
In the batting, Dylan and Riley scored home runs, while Shinae, Dylan and josh all took catches.
Sunday saw the same two teams play, and the result was a seven-all draw, with Riley scoring his third home run for the weekend while Callum hit a three bagger again. Noosa had a couple of errors and threw two wild throws, Riley and Shinai took catches.
Saturday’s 17s game saw the blacks win 9-6, Josh S and Bree had a three and two bagger respectively in the batting while Dylan took a catch in centerfield.
Sunday saw a 22-4 score line. Lewis hit a three bagger and got home in the third on a dropped fly ball in right field while William hit a three bagger and also hit one and got home on an error, and Shinai also hit a three bagger.
Not a lot of time spent in the field, but it was a good all-round effort. The men’s team saw a 19-9 win and Lewis led the way with two home runs with Coady and Riley chipping in with a home run each while a good fielding effort saw six catches taken by the team.
Just for a bit more punishment, four of the teams backed up on Sunday afternoon for a two-hour academy training session.
