Wolves set for premiership

The Woy Woy Wolves baseball team look set to take out the minor premiership this year after a tight game against the Magpies in round 14 on Saturday, July 31.

The game was a thriller with Wolves aiming for outright first and Magpies looking to gain a position in the top three

The match was a pitchers' duel with the Wolves' Luke Stevenson up against Magpies Michael D'Abo.

The Wolves took the first run in the second innings off a Gavin Dixon single but the Magpies quickly tied the match at one-all after Craig Wilson sacrificed to score their first run of the game.

Great defence from both sides kept the score even until the top of the eighth when the Wolves scored two runs to take a 3-1 lead but the Magpies turned a great double play to end the innings.

The bottom of the eighth saw Magpies again strike back and even the score at three-all.

The Wolves then took the score to 4-3 in the top of the final innings and needed three outs for the match.

The Magpies evened the score with one out in the bottom of the ninth but Wolves' defence held with the winning run on base and a fitting end to a great match at four-all.

Batting from both sides was spread throughout the order with the Wolves' Jason Smith and Jason Marks both having key hits and, for the Magpies, Mark Smith's defence at third base shone as did Troy Marchant's performance in the outfield.
