Back in the Winner Circle
- After a couple of tough losses the Bluejays are back on
the right side of the W column.
Facing the Malvern Braves, Bonbeach knocked up plenty of
hits and backed up Matt Prior on the hill with some great
defense. Running out eventual winners 14-2 in 8 innings
was a great way to kick off a busy couple of weeks.
