Thirds remain undefeated as Firsts fall to Stingers

Another big win by the Thirds highlighted the Doncaster seniors results on Saturday.

Fresh off Brayden Henderson’s perfect game last week, the Thirds came away with a 15-8 victory over North Coburg to remain undefeated after three rounds. Also facing the Rebels, the Fourths led for much of the game before going down 8-7.

The Firsts fell to 1-2 on the young season with a 9-4 loss to North Balwyn at Myrtle Park.

After scoring two runs in the bottom of the first, the Stingers broke the game open with a grand slam off the bat of cleanup hitter Mitch Kennedy and had extended their lead to 8-0 before Doncaster came to life.

Making a rare start at second base, Liam Robertson led off the top of the sixth by crushing the first home run of his senior career with a drive to right-centrefield. The Dragons clawed back three more runs on a string of hits that narrowed the margin to four but that’s as close as they’d come, eventually falling 9-4 after North Balwyn tacked one on in the seventh.

The Reserves earlier fell to the Stingers, 11-4.
