Helderberg Pirates Baseball Club suffered a tough loss at the hands of Bothasig Knights in a challenging baseball encounter played at Radloff Park in Somerset West on Saturday (22 November).
Pirates found themselves on the back foot early on in the encounter, enduring a difficult first innings that saw them concede eight runs, putting the team 0-8 down right from the start.
“Despite the early setback the Pirates’ players showed resilience and fought hard to try and claw their way back into the game. However, their comeback efforts were consistently thwarted by a combination of factors,” a team representative said.
The Knights played solid baseball, managing to land a couple of good hits, while the Pirates’ efforts were undermined by basic errors in the field.The deficit created in the first innings, coupled with the continued fielding mistakes, proved too much to overcome.
Pirates’ next match is against Westridge Yankees in an away-fixture this Saturday (29 November).
