Fitzroy 8, Berwick City 3
In an important win to solidify their finals aspirations, the Fitzroy Lions dominated on the road on Saturday, besting the Berwick City Cougars, 8-3. The victory improved Fitzroy’s overall record to 11-6-1, two and a half games behind second place Werribee. Berwick drops to seventh on the 10 team ladder with an 8-10 mark.
Malvern 14, Ballarat 3
A disappointing season so far took a turn for the better when the Braves dominated the Brewers, 14-3. With the win, Malvern stays one spot above the cellar (and Port Melbourne) while Ballarat sits fifth.
Moorabbin 7, Bonbeach 1
Scoreless through three, the Panthers struck first on Sunday, tallying twice in the fourth to take an early lead. Not satisfied, they then scored three times in the seventh and twice more in the eighth to provide a margin that could not be overcome. The Bluejays lone run came in the eighth inning.
Two games clear atop the Division 2 ladder, Moorabbin is now a sterling 16-2 on the season. Bonbeach’s perch is the eighth rung with a 6-12 mark.
Upwey Ferntree Gully 17, Port Melbourne 2
This one wasn’t even close. The Tigers dominated throughout, improving their record to 8-10. The loss for the Mariners, their 13th of the season, relegates them to the bottom of the ladder.
Werribee 9, Williamstown 8
In the game of week, the Giants withstood an epic charge from the Wolves to barely escape with a perilously narrow 9-8 victory. Up 5-0 after one, 6-1 after the second inning and 9-1 after seven, Werribee looked like they were going to cruise to any easy victory.
But Williamstown stormed back with two runs in the eighth and five in the bottom of the ninth to nearly pull off the miraculous comeback.
Thanks to the Brewers also losing, the Wolves remain alone in fourth place with a 9-9 mark. The second place Giants improve to 14-4 on the season.
