OBoyz were Storm-ed
For the first time in the season, OBoyz suffered consecutive defeats losing 1-4 to Storm. The team committed a season high 7 strikeouts and could muster only 2 hits.
Alex went 7 innings and held Storm to only 5 hits and a batting average of 0.192. This is a remarkable improvement from the 10 hits allowed and an average of 0.370 in the regular season. It seems that Alex was on the same page as the catcher and this can only be a stepping stone to better performances against Hunters, ORA and NUS for the coming weekend.
The team had their off-weekend on 13 june and held their regular training session at Catholic High. 2 of their overseas sluggers are finally back: Lionel & Justin. Both powerhouses were showcasing their impressive bat speed and will be a welcome addition to the team that's been lethargic on the offence.
Meanwhile, please bring your cameras and get your WAGs down for the weekend game! It's going to be exciting!

OBoyz goes 7-3 to clinch berth in the postseason
Going into the weekend, a record of 6-2 meant that the OBoyz are safe to go through to the postseason. On Saturday, they defeated NTU 13-1 before losing to Hunters 3-0 on Sunday, finishing with 7 wins and 3 losses.
The team had 0.327 batting average throughout the regular season, scoring an average of 9 runs a game although we conceded more than 4 runs. Key highlights of the season included the 8-7 close shave against Red Sox, massive drubbing against Eagles, Anglican, Viper & NTU and comfortable wins against Schools & NUS. However, their offence stalled in their los to Storm, ORA & Hunters. Thankfully, the sweet silver lining was Alex's pinpoint pitching against Hunters, going perfect for 3 full innings.
For the honours roll, the batting title goes to William & Changyu, both of whom finished with an average of 0.400, while leadoff hitter Zhiwei led the team with 11 hits, 7 stolen bases & 13 runs. A hot start against Eagles ensured that Hongwei finished with 9 RBIs for the team. First baseman Shengwei finished strongly with 7 RBIs despite having only 12 at bats while 4 different batters recorded 1 homerun each.
All these statistics suggest that the team's offence can function at its optimum level if everyone contributes their fair share; from the leadoff spot, to the run producers, to the lower deck who will link the offence full circle, every single position is important.
OBoyz will most likely go against the top seeded team, Storm, in their first game this coming Sunday 2 June, and will then face the 2nd seeded team, Hunters, the following Saturday 13 June. The postseason will give the OBoyz an opportunity to start afresh and prove that they can emerge as a championship contender.
Stay tuned...! :)
