THE Noosa 15s went down in a thriller in a mixed day of softball for the club at Caboolture on Saturday against Cavs.
A beautiful day greeted the side on Saturday at Caboolture the 15s as usual were up first to absorb the dew, they got off to a good start on the back of another Riley home run to get four runs in.
The second innings saw three up three down with Cavs putting on five runs and Noosa producing five fielding errors. The third saw much of the same with Cavs getting another five runs whilst Noosa stayed on four.
However, Noosa then woke from their slumber and the runs flowed. Needing six to get Cavs to bat again, they fell just one short and going down 10-9 in a thriller.
The 17 blacks took on the undefeated demons. And even though the score-line looked one-sided, it was a very good game to watch.
Shinai pitched to three up three down innings to start off while Noosa put on five runs, Lewis hitting a two-bagger helped a few home, it was a very good team effort from Noosa with all players doing their roles. Shinai also hit a three bagger to help a couple home, Noosa won 16-1.
The Whites were on the opposite diamond and Dylan hit a good hit to get the runners home while Jarred B hit a three bagger and got home on a wild throw to get three runners home, again the team played more like a team.
To top off the day, Noosa men’s also had a win 14-6 with all players chipping in, Gary hit a home run, as did Coady, Riley, Lewis, Kane and William all got two baggers.
