Pakenham 11, Chelsea 0
When import James Mills takes the hill little seems to go wrong for the Pumas. So it was again on Sunday as they whitewashed the Dolphins, 11-0. Pakenham scored once in the first, twice in the third, three more times in the fourth and five in the fifth to secure the mercy-rule aided win.
The victory helps them keep pace with Mulgrave; currently they sit three points behind the Rebels but have played one more game.
Chelsea falls to 5-6 on the season.
Research 22, Footscray 6
The Roadrunners’ dominate home victory pushed them above the Bulldogs for the last spot in Finals. Research currently sits at 4-5 and in fourth place while Footscray, who have played one more game, are 3-7 and fifth on the ladder.
Mulgrave 12, St Kilda 0
Drip, drip, drip. It was never spectacular but the way the Rebels scored runs against the Saints in St Kilda on Sunday it was certainly effective. Mulgrave tallied once in the first, four in each the second and the third, and then added single runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings before the Saints brought in hurler Avi Lewis, who pitched a scoreless seventh frame.
With their top two pitchers unavailable, St Kilda opted for a bullpen game, throwing Pete McCourt for the first four-plus innings and then Paul Puskar before Lewis pitched the last.
For the Rebels they needed only Mathew Young who threw a complete game shutout, ceding just five hits while throwing 112 pitches.
