REDS MAKE MOVE, DOLPHINS STUMBLE!

Assorted results, Wednesday through Sunday,
definitely some missing:

     Wed 16 Dec:

B'rangers 000000120 3 (10h)
Reds      20100101x 5 (13h)

Pitchers Dave White and Carlos Reyes had plenty of chance
to show off their pick off moves, with so many men on base,
although the only walk of the night cameon the spitball
rule, when White licked his fingers. Edwards' two hits for
Melbourne were a double and a triple, while Spencer and
Warner each hit 3 times for Waverley.

Bandits at Blues rained out

Dolphins 0
Heat     9

     Thurs 17 Dec:

Reds     102020000 5 (9h)
Monarchs 100000000 1 (3h)

Star import Darren Ritter kept the Monarchs in their hitting
slump while Matthew Sheldon-Collins (3 hits) and Lee Heath (2)
helped Barry Parisotto's ERA up a little- he pitched 4.1
innings for all 5 earned runs.

Game 1   Bandits 9             Game 2    Bandits 5

     Friday 18 Dec:

Bandits    ?
B'rangers  ?

I think the Bandits won but I'm not sure...

     Saturday 19 Dec:

Game 1    Monarchs 1 (5h)      Game 2    Monarchs 0 (4h)
          Red      3 (5h)                Reds     1 (9h)

In game 1, Simon-Sheldon Collins starred on the mound, with
the Monarchs only able to score in the seventh from reliever
Phil Dale. Glen Reeves batted in two runs in the fourth. In
game 2, the Monarchs pitchers Respondek and Jones could only
stay out of jail so long- until Heath batted in the only run
of the game in the fifth. Hogan was relieved by Dale, and
the Monarchs' Deeble led off with a hit in the seventh. "Just
stay out of the double play" I said. Guess what happened.
Kernick then hit safely, but Dale retired the next to end the
game. The Reds have now won six in a row- the Monarchs have
lost four.

Game 1     Dolphins 2 (4h)     Game 2   Dolphins 1 (4h)
           Giants   3 (2h)              Giants   2 (7h)

In game 1, Singleton homered for Gold Coast, while Scott and
Bahnert homered for Adelaide. Dienelt saved the win for Daspit,
while Cutshall was an unlucky losing pitcher. In game 2, Giant
piching ace Steven Mintz relieved Kirwin with the Dolphins up
1-0, and struck out four in 2.2 innings while Day and Van Pelt
drove in runs in the fourth and fifth. Cedarblad took the loss
in relief of Robinson. I think that's eight straight losses for
the Dolphins.

     Sunday 20 Dec:

Game 1 Bandits 3000010 4 (6h)  Game 2 Bandits 0001030 4 (8h)
      Brangers 100013x 5 (6h)        Brangers 1000211 5 (10h)

In game 1, Ken McDonald's 3 run homer and double batted in all
four Brisbane runs, but Dicker's 2 run single in the sixth from
reliever Bob Nilsson gave persistent Melbourne the lead at last.
Thompson tripled for the Bushrangers also. White took the win and
Simpson the save. In game 2, Hinton hit 2 doubles and McDonald
again homered (again for 3 RBIs and giving the Bandits a 4-3 lead)
but Thompson's second triple for the night levelled the scores in
the bottom of the sixth and pinch hitter Dicker again singled in
the winning run, this time in thge seventh. Thompson's 3 hits
included a triple and a double.
