Saturday afternoon baseball fans were treated to a nail-biter between the South Indians and Centrals at Blue Lake Sports Park.

Ryan Placcucci and Dylan Chuck took control for their respective sides and it proved a pitchers dual with only 10 hits for the game combined and a single run being the final margin between cheers and tears.

Top of the table Centrals taking the victory after gaining the advantage in the seventh inning thanks to a double to Ethan Chuck that saw him score on a South error.

South players certainly can hold their heads high and will take some confidence with them moving forward.

A plethora of Chucks were the difference for Centrals with Dylan, Ethan and Josh tallying four hits of Centrals seven for the night, whilst for South it was single shots to Bruce Morale, Placcucci and Travis Lockwood.

Tigers took on an upbeat Millicent down the highway Saturday at Bolton reserve and were looking to gain some points to keep within striking distance of Centrals on the ladder.

Tigers superstar shortstop Hayden Jones lead the way with the bat with four hits for the day, which lead to Tigers taking a hard fought seven runs to three victory.

Garth Ransom took control on the mound for Tigers and picked up his first win for the year with the reigning league medallist looking to be on song after a shaky start.

Brayden Morton and Joe Sims were solid with the bat for Tigers, and for Millicent/Federals it was Alex Pearson and a future superstar in the making Ellis Cushion who stood out.

Millicent/Federals coach Anthony Mutton is building a young core that certainly looks likely to cause an upset or two sooner rather than later.

Tigers will take on South in a double header next Saturday whilst Millicent/Federals v Centrals takes place Friday under lights.
