AILC Day 2 Recap

Baseball Victoria
18 June 2019

The 2019 Australian Intermediate League Championships continued in Mildura for Day 2, and our three Victorian teams Eastern Athletics, Southern Mariners and Twins had some big moments today. 

Catch up on all the day two action:

 

Twins 15, Southern Mariners 4 | Box Score

Twins got into the wins column this afternoon, at the expense of fellow Victorian side Southern Mariners.

Twins were no match for their rivals after a long, 13-run third innings, leaving Southern Mariners a mountain to climb.

For Twins, Ben Howard scored three runs including a three-base hit, as did Miller Wortley who also was credited with two RBIs.

Addison Bishop-Worn nailed her four at bats, responsible for scoring four of her teammates while crossing once herself.

Mitch Denny got the ball rolling at the top of the second for Southern Mariners, scoring once more in the fourth.

Griff Johnston and Ben Hallowell were the other Southern Mariners to contribute to their scoreline.

Bishop-Worn was an all-round star of the game, as his pitching resulted in minimising Southern Mariners to one run in three innings, however Declan Lynch made the most of his first pitches; 13 being called strikes.

 

Hills 16, Eastern Athletics 8 | Box Score

Eastern Athletics found themselves on the end of a rounded Hills side in their only AILC 2019 match on Day 2.

Hills scored in all but one inning, running away with a big win, however, Eastern Athletics looked poised to cut the deficit in a thrilling eight-run fifth inning.

More runs came in for Hills, but Eastern Athletics kept their heads held high at the conclusion of the match.

Ethan Jenkins had the most hits with three while Isaac Pinczewski and Max Saggers had two each.

Of the run scorers, no one scored more than once, however Cutter Harris drove two in during this here at bats.

Ashley Geary-Smith and Jackson Powell each pitched three innings each, showing a great display to record 12 first-pitch strikes each.

Eastern Athletics were magnificent in the field, recording just one error in 28 fielding attempts. Jenkins had four putouts from four attempts.

 

Northern Metros 19, Southern Mariners 4 | Box Score

Three consecutive innings of six or more runs from Northern Metros propelled them into the game quickly and while Southern Mariners drew four in the second inning, it was always difficult.

For Southern Mariners, their four-run third inning resulted in Ben Hallowell, Declan Lynch, Sidney Stillwell and Ryan Williams scoring.

Sidwell drove in two runs while at the plate too, completing a great game.

Ryan Meters was trusted with the ball first up and only had two hits against him but some errant pitching resukted in eight base on balls and nine runs.

Nonethlress, scoring dried up a little when the likes of Harrison Maddeford, Owen Cogar and Jeremey Hess briefly pitched.     

 

Ryde Hawks 17, Twins 10 | Box Score

It was a story of too little, too late for Twins, following up a gruelling first win over Sothern Mariners.

Twins piled on the runs in the back half of the game, but fell a little short of their opponents, Ryde Hawks.

Ben Howard, Nathan Blakemore and Miller Wortley had three hits each with the latter two reaching third once in their times up to bat.

Wortley and Addison Bishop-Worn each collected two runs with the rest of the team competing well to get runs, or on base too.

Matthew Butler was the pick of the pitchers, coming on for one inning and gaining three strikeouts, allowing just one run with no errors.

Twins held up well in the field with less errors than Ryde Hawks which included a crafty double play between Howard and Wortley.

 

Day three action in Mildura gets underway at 9.15am (local time).
