Recap

This was a game which featured two past winners of the league, facing off for the first game after the pandemic-abandoned 2020 season..  The Saltires retained almost the same squad as from previous years while the Badgers were in a rebuild year. It started off closely, with only 3 runs in it until the 4th inning when good defence and timely hitting by the Saltires meant that they pulled away and were then in control.  The new league timed-game format meant that the scores of the 7th inning had to be abandoned and rolled back to the end of 6th.

MVPs for the Honey Badgers were Lisa for her long ball hitting and Derek for his unorthodox, but effective, catching.
MVPs for the Saltires were Eilidgh for her stopping power at first, and Ritchie for his hitting.

Next up? The Honey Badgers face Pimpin while the Saltires face the Highland Chargers…
