History in the Making
Facing their first real test of the tournament on a lazy Sunday afternoon was not something most people welcomed usually, however that excuse was not for our stalwart softball players today. With heads held high, our softball players managed to amaze by qualifying for the semifinals of the tournament for the first time in hall 15 history.
With a determined team who put their all in the game which was really tight till the finish, our guys started the game by only allowing the opponents hall 5 a single run in the first inning due to the brilliant pitching of Alvin as well as a fluid fielding of our field players. Then when it was our turn to bat, we were faced with an on form pitcher from hall 5 who managed to strike out our first batter Junwen who was followed by our second batter Qing Ru who was unlucky to strike a fly ball which was caught by the opposition fielder straight away. However after the misfortune of the first two, our next batter Hong Wei managed to hit a low ball and made it to first base. This was followed up by a brilliant homerun from Qing Wei who then made the score 2 runs to 1. This was followed up by two more runs from both Jeffery and Ansley. The score at the end of the first inning was 4 – 2 in favour of our hall. After this, the lead stayed in our hands till the end of the match and although Hall 5 gave us a tough fight, we managed to emerge victorious in the end with a score of 6 – 4.
While it was a job well done, our team captain Qing Wei reminded the team not to get complacent as the teams in from now on were going to get a lot harder. however as for now, let us all toast the team for creating history in hall 15 by being the first softball team to reach the final four, and wish them the best of luck in the next match coming sunday. GO HALL 15!!
