Tornados added yet another piece of silverware to their total by beating NRG Rangers 14-7 in the Sportingbet Co-Ed All Division Knockout Final. Rangers were scoring each innings but only solitary runs and Tornados scored 7 runs in the first 2 innings with the help of a home run from Sally Le Noury to set them up for victory. Tornados remained solid and behind consistent pitching from Ben Youlton never looked like loosing. Paul Vaudin hit a fine line drive home run for Rangers but Tornados always kept a healthy lead and won the game 14-7.

2 re-arranged Sportingbet Co-Ed Division 1 games were played last week and both involved NRG Rangers. Their 1st outing was against league champions Tornados and Rangers pushed them all game opening up a 10-2 lead early on. Tornados started closing the gap with the help of 2 home runs from Glen Cortez they led 16-12 after 5 innings. Sophie Warren hit a fine home run for Rangers to close the gap to just 1 run but they didn’t manage to score again and Tornados won the game 16-15.

ArcTech Panthers inflicted NRG Rangers their 2nd league defeat in as many days and the win ensured Panthers finished as Division 1 runners up in their 1st season in the higher division.

In the only game in Sportingbet Co-Ed Division 2 Core Focus Rookies easily beat Richmond Rogues 21-1 with the help of 2 home runs from Dave Mahoney. This victory for Rookies and with Mercator being given their game means these two teams will meet in a play off to decide the league winners.
