Chichester Falcons continued their successful 2022 campaign with a comfortable win over Baffins Brewers last week, in a Solent League division one fixture in the sunshine at Southsea.
The Falcons hit first and wasted no time as pitcher Jason Mercer and third baseman James Wheeler clubbed their way onto base to start up a five run first inning. A promising start for Sarah d'Agar at second base saw her walk and then finish the game with 100% OBP, while Molly Rayner, in her first game of the season, repeatedly pounded doubles out to centre field. Brewers responded well with three runs of their own but the second inning brought eleven runs for the Falcons, who batted nearly twice around the order to put themselves well ahead with the game barely started.
