Today's News McInnes
terrorises Surfers
WESTERN Districts Baseball Club’s zippy outfielder,
Joel McInnes, saved the Bulldogs from dropping to its second loss to Surfers on
Sunday. The 17-year-old lifted his team to a come-from-behind draw, but the Bulldogs still suffered its first series loss of the 2008/09 Greater Brisbane A-Grade Summer League. With Bulldogs star pitcher, Pat Capone, rested from the mound, the Bulldogs struggled to stop Surfers’ home run spree on Friday night at Beenleigh, going down 11-6. At Atthows Park, Darra on Sunday, the Bulldogs were looking down the barrel of the club’s first 2-0 series defeat of the season when showers stopped play in the fifth innings. Down 6-4, rain briefly cleared for enough time for McInnes to inspire his team to level the score before gloomy clouds and lightning ended the match. Easily the Bulldogs’ best player for the game with three hits, the under-18 Queensland player’s sharp batting and rapid speed caused the visitors headaches all day. When the left-hand batsman stepped onto the plate in the sixth and final-scoring inning, McInnes looked like a man on a mission. Knowing it was probably the club’s last chance to steal an unexpected win with wild weather beckoning, McInnes steered a pitch to the right field and comfortably grabbed first base. Then McInnes tried to sneakily steal second base, but looked to have bitten more than he could chew when Surfers had him trapped between bases. However, luck was on McInnes’ side as Surfers’ first-base stop interfered with his run, gifting him a free walk to second base. That play would be the turning-point of the contest, as McInnes would eventually race to the home plate to draw the match thanks to some smart hitting from the hosts. |
