Great weekend, hot, but lots of fun at the park, and lots of ball fans happy with the play of the teams, the welcome they received from the Tavistock crew, at the gate, the food booth, the beer tent, all weekend long.<\/p>\n

Coming up….<\/p>\n

Game of the Week….<\/strong><\/p>\n

I did catch a few innings of the Breslau Badgers vs Sebringville Sting game on Tuesday nite at Breslau Stadium. Looking at the South Perth Standings you have to think that the Badgers would come out of top…and they almost did, losing 4 – 3 to the Sting. Sebringville held a 4 to zip lead til the 6th, when Breslau, again just like last week, Ben Wideman and Brandon Horn knocked a few hits together and got the Badgers rolling only to fall short.<\/p>\n

Don Scott got the win, and Cody Skelton took a tough loss. Don Scott was knocking the ball around the old ball yard when he was at bat<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, the Sting are looking stronger, and this Sunday they are up against the Wellington Sox who are top of the South Perth heap. I hope to make it to Mitchell, double header, Sox vs Sting…1 and 3 pm…..<\/p>\n
