On Sunday Mariners 6th Grade travelled to Thomas Dalton Park at Fairy Meadow to take on the Pirates. Unfortunately Mariners were outplayed by a strong Pirates side with Mariners going down 15–8.
For a losing side it was great to see that Mariners never dropped their heads with team spirit out in force right up till the last pitch of the game. The boys were having way too much fun, having everyone in stitches when the infielders decided to have their own imaginary game of baseball without a ball. Anthony Burgess had an outstanding catching game making this position his own while being worked hard by fellow pitchers.
The high light of the game for Mariners was when Brodie O’Reilly hit his first in park Home run for the season. Mariners batters had a great run on double hits 6 in one game going to Austin Raymond , Brodie O’Reilly , Degan Brekelmans , Greg Symmans , Daniel List and Andrew Pearson . Single hits going to Steve Farrugia , Jack Farrugia ( 2 ) , Anthony Burgess and Austin Raymond .
