Loss to Exeter and Win Over Lieury
On day two of their WOBA tournament the Your Neighbourhood Credit Union Tier 2 Team 1 Major Rookies played two games and came away with a loss to Exeter and a win over Lieury. The morning game against Exeter saw both teams play strong defense in the close 10-3 game. Mitchell hit the ball well, but unfortunately their hits could not find the holes in the field and would only manage to get three runs home in the game. Scoring the runs for Mitchell were Hayden Nicholson with two and Lincoln Lorentz with one. Defensively, Mitchell played a tight game not allowing more than two runs in any given inning. Throwing runners out on the base paths were Nicholson, Charlie Geiger, Josie Walker and Blake Redfern. 

In their afternoon game against Lieury, Mitchell played another strong game defensively not allowing any runs to be scored against them until the fifth and final inning of the game. The strong infield play of Brennan Ward, Walker, Geiger, Nicholson, Redfern and Keegan Priestap kept the base runners to a minimum. Mitchell's bats came alive in this game with each player on the team contributing singles and scoring at least once during the game. Leading the scoring in this game was Brennan Ward and Brooklyn Boville each crossing the plate 4 times in the 24-4 win.
