Sammie Featherby stepped in for the fifth inning doing a wonderful job as a relief also for the second time this season.
To kick things off for the ladies in defence in the first inning was Carly Langham at third base with an assisted put-out with Emily at first base. Great catch by Jo Boyle at short stop and third out was an unassisted out by Emily at first. Emily did an awesome job playing first base for the first time this season, with three amazing catches throughout the game and a put-out with Tuhi covering first base.
Ladies were able to shut Berwick out in the second inning, before they started scoring runs in the last three innings.
Annie-Rose Carter and Tuhi managed one hit each, Carly Langham scored two RBI’s as well as Annie-Rose. Pumas stole seven bases throughout the game, with Jessica Moulding leading the way!
