Stage 1 Friday - Ungraded
Marist Scorchers
Marist Scorchers 102 defeated by SEC Thunder 154
Batting : William B: 11 (15) and Pierce S: 9 (15)
Bowling: William B: 3/19 (3) and Hugh K 2/13 (3)
The Scorchers lost the toss and were sent into bat. The team showed some great running between the wickets but were finding it hard at times, facing some quick and accurate bowling. A few amazing wickets against us had the scoreline quite close throughout the innings. The slow outfield was not on the Scorchers side. Some almost 4's unfortuately fell short of the boundary. Some great batting by William and Pierce helped the Scorchers total.
SEC Thunder started off really strong, taking every opportunity possible to score runs. Early wickets were taken by William and Hugh. Unfortunately, with some fielding mishaps by the Scorchers, SEC Thunder took advanatge of all extra runs they could score. More wickets fell, even a direct hit run out by Hugh could not help the Scorchers but overall, SEC Thunder were too strong.
