Casey softballers managed a full round for the first time this season.
The day was kicked off with an entertaining junior clash between Doveton/Cobras and Cherokee.
Doveton/Cobras, led by Patrick McHenry, jumped Cherokees early with a 9-3 first innings, which was enough for a 17-12 win despite a nine-run second innings to Cherokee.
The social women’s clash saw Cobras take on Geronimo and Penguins play Chickasaw.
Geronimo batted consistently throughout the game with a double and triple to short stop Shelley Ryder, while pitcher Sandra Whalley kept the Cobras bats quiet in a 21-4 scoreline.
In a game with several new players, Penguins started strongly, up 14-3 after two innings.
Chickasaw fought back in the final two innings outscoring Penguins 6-2, the early lead ensured a 16-9 win for Penguins, with Jasmine Hawker (Chickasaw) and Tracey McMinimee (Penguins) leading the way for their respective sides.
The first of the Women’s B Grade games was Cranbourne versus Doveton.
Cranbourne had a number of key players this week, but struggled against the strong team effort from Doveton.
Junior pitcher Ella Dvornik finished the game well with a number of strike outs.
Ash Cavalin and Darna Vernaski both contributed with the bat hitting doubles in an easy 19-4 Doveton win.
Cobras and Cheyenne squared off in the second game, neck and neck after the first two innings.
