This was a very close match to end the first half of the season between two teams that have had very close matches over the years. It featured some excellent defence by the Chargers and good defence from the Fockers with their couple of small errors making a large difference.  The Chargers got in front on the first and just kept there but either team could have been 1 big inning from the win.  Unfortunately for the Fockers this was not to be and the 7 inning game was done within an hour.

MVPs for the Fockers were Novalia (for excellent defence at 2) and Alan (for providing almost 1/2 of the Fockers runs scored).
MVPs for the Highland Chargers were Jenny (for all round defence and offence) and Scott (for his rally killing catch at 3).

In what was always going to be a tough game for the Fockers against the undefeated Pimpin, the Fockers made a respectable game of it.  Pimpin’ didn’t ever appear to be in any danger, with some excellent defence throughout and the ability to add runs every inning except one.  In contrast, the Focker’s bats did not really get going until the 6th inning, when it was too little too late.  Still a 7 inning game with a loss by only 9 runs was better than they thought.

MVPs for Pimpin’ were Jen P (for solid hitting and defence in the outfield) and Keith (for the same).
MVPs for the Fockers were Sara (for her defence on 2) and Russell (For some outstanding plays at shortstop and solidd offence).

Next up?  Fockers take on the Highland Chargers for what is likely to be important for placing within the bottom half at the end of the season and Pimpin’ play against AJs (Comp).
