Belmont Baseball Club 2015 � 61st Annual Report � Page 12 Fifth Grade Report

The 5th grade competition was once again competitive and evenly matched, even against clubs lacking major league. The strength of senior Saturday baseball in Newcastle and surrounds is evident, although devoid of youth. An unfortunate draw, a depleted roster and adverse weather shouldn’t carry all of the blame for a very poor season start, although…. Consistency is very important to the old, infirm and ability challenged and it appears that most of the training was misdirected, possibly a focus area for the future. The inaugural Mick Hassett trophy was a high and low for all, it is very likely to be something not to be missed for seasons to come. I am advised that 1998 was the last time 5th grade missed playing post season, 2015 must certainly be an anomaly The balance between competition and enjoyment continues… lesser clubs attempt and fail. Well done BBC.

Ashley Hillard: Ash made a comeback to baseball this year after a few seasons off. His hitting ability was a huge asset to the team and assisted greatly in some critical game situations, hitting 1 home run and 6 doubles throughout the season. Belinda Clenton: played her first ever season of baseball and achieved a fielding average of 1.000. Her team spirit was appreciated by all, including the blue and gold shoelaces she had in her cleats. Shane Barclay: Bucket made another comeback this season after “he was done”. We were lucky he did
