For the first time in 2023, there was softball action last week.
The social women were first up as Cobras took on MVP in a tight game.
Cobras jumped out to an early 6-2 lead before MVP fought hard but could only score one more run, with the Cobras winning 8-3, led by Brooklyn Maloney.
The second game was a 2022 grand final rematch between Narre Warren Penguins and Berwick Geronimo.
Geronimo, missing a number of their usual starters, got the first runs on the board, but Penguins had a four-run second innings to put them up 4-2.
Geronimo managed another two runs but Penguins held strong to win 6-4 thanks to good batting from Tracey McMinimee and Sam Cankett.
Women’s B Grade had Doveton vs Cranbourne.
In a high scoring affair Doveton had a very strong start to be up 8-1, but both teams bats got going in the end with the final score Doveton winning 19-10.
The young Cobras took on Berwick Cheyenne in another high scoring game with both teams on 11 after the first two innings.
Cobras got their game going in the third with eight runs which propelled them to a 19-11 victory, led by Brooklyn Maloney.
Rounding off the day was the men’s competition.
The two Cobras teams – grey and maroon – played out a thrilling 7-7 draw.
The second game was Cranbourne Meteorites vs Warriors.
After an even start, Warriors got their batting game going scoring 16 runs in the last two innings to win 17-3.
