Slowpitch Season commences at primrose Oval, Northbridge.

The 2009 Lachlan Tigers Slowpitch Team

The 2009 Slowpitch Season commenced at primrose Oval, Northbridge last night (Tuesday 3rd November), when the might Lachlan Tigers took on the might of the Wombats. In a reply of last years Grand Final the Wombats proved too strong for the Tigers running out victors by 18 runs to 14.

The 2009 Wombats defeat the tigers 18 - 14.

The tigers looked resplendent in their new uniforms which were supplied by walkin promotions (http://www.walkinpromotions.com.au/ ) and approach the upcoming season full of confidence after last years successful premiership. As Scott Mitchell commented " I'm going to hit them out of the park!" and he started the season in that confident manner hitting not 1 but 2 home runs. The other stars for the Tigers included Pierre Munk with 2 runs. Richard Aouchan with 1 and Sharon Bowie great play in the out field. A special mention goes to Arthur Dacey who attempt at a diving catch 'awe inspiring'.

Our gratitude to Softball NSW, especially general manager Cathy Kerr, who's dedication is legendary and ensures athletes with disabilities are part of the softball family.

We look forward to a great season. You can catch us every Tuesday evening at primrose Oval, Northbridge from 6 - 8 pm.

Go the tigers!

Michael season opener: 1 run, 2 outs.
