The Jersey Softball Associations Indoor League kicked off on Wednesday, with the opening fixture seeing the defending champions, the Flyers, taking on Carey Olsen Woodchucks.
With the glove, the Flyers showed their know-how and experience of playing indoors, as their opponents struggled to reach First Base. A large number of strike-outs by debut Pitcher and Flyers’ player-of-the-match, James Marshall, together with good glove-work and a number of tag-plays combined to restrict the Woodchucks’ scoring opportunities. With the bat, the Flyers Michelle Thomson, Cat Girt and Captain Chris Le Lion made a significant contribution to the points tally by consistently reaching First Base. Quick and aggressive base-running by all the team kept the Woodchucks’ defence under pressure and helped to keep the scoreboard ticking over. After five innings were over the Flyers claimed the victory with a 92 – 29 score-line.
The second game of the night saw CPA Global Pirates take on Jacksons Phoenix. Although the seasoned indoor participants, Pirates, got off to a slow start, it wasn’t long before they found their sea legs and began reeling out the lead over their opposition. In spite of this, Phoenix stayed strong and maintained a rhythm as they rotated through the batting order. A special mention goes to Michael Quinn, who took several fast catches on the return and scored a homerun with loaded bases. However as the final innings came to a close, the Pirates were announced as the victors, plundering a win of 79 – 34, with notable performances from indoor rookies, Richard Batho and Stevie Harris, helping them gain the advantage.
