IN the final Mount Gambier softball game of the minor round it was an all Concordes affair.
Dana Jones started with a safe bat for Concordes United, but Karly Pearson then came back with two K2’s.
A fielding error saw Jones score and after a single to centre field by Julie Beck, the play was made at second base for the final out for the innings.
Concordes White then started their batting innings with Sam Brown on base through an error and Rachel Bagshaw by base-on-ball.
Kylie Cook came up to bat and hit a double to centre, scoring both Brown and Bagshaw.
A further two runs were scored before the innings ended.
At the top of the second Concordes White started strongly with two quick outs then Jones came up for her second safe hit of the game, with a double to left field.
Sarah Thomson had a safe hit to second, putting runners in scoring position.
Codie Jackway also had a safe hit to centre and two runs were scored for the innings.
Not to be outdone, Concordes White came back at the bottom of the second innings to score six runs, starting with a safe hit to Linley Pollard.
Some disciplined batting saw runners load the bases before Bagshaw had a double to left field to send the runners home.
A line drive catch to Leonie McCallum then ended the innings for White.
With two outs at the top of the third innings, a double by both Jones and Thomson scored two runs before the innings was shut down by a play from Maddie Sutherland.
McCallum shared her class with her involvement in three plays for three outs, only allowing White to score one run in the bottom of the third.
The start of the fourth saw a brilliant diving catch to Bagshaw and a quick three outs.
White’s lead-off Kate Altschwager had a single to centre field, followed by another single to Pearson for a further two runs.
In the end Concordes White ran out convincing 13-5 winners.
