Apollo A vs. GKA

Well this was the game we have all been waiting for. The district final. Last year's grand finalist. Apollo A vs. GKA. Jason was the captain against Tyler (the captain from GKA). Apollo knows how it feels to lose in a district final. Some encouraging words were exchanged and the game started. Jason tossed the bat and Tyler from GKA won the toss. They decided to field. Apollo started off pretty shakily by only scoring 3 runs in the first innings. GKA left Apollo with their chins on the floor with 6 amazing runs. Apollo came back firing in the second innings and they scored 6 runs of their own taking the game up to 9-6. Apollo had tight fielding and some great catches to hold GKA to a three run innings. So at the scores were tied up in the second innings. Apollo scored 3 runs in the innings thanks to some brilliant fielding from GKA. Apollo had very tight fielding in the third innings. Jason (the infielder) was amazing with speed and accuracy. Apollo held GKA to 10. So the scores were 12-10 in the third innings. Things started to get personal. GKA's captain and pitcher started to get some strikes and his pitching was faster. Apollo took their time with the innings. Apollo scored no runs in that innings. However Apollo fielded well. Jackson was the game changer catching a spectacular ball in the air which sealed Apollo's victory. GKA were scoreless in that innings. Apollo ran the clock down in the fifth innings to run out 12-10 winners. A great effort by Apollo. Tyler from GKA had great sportsmanship which was praised by both coaches. Apollo are through to zone.
