The season has ended

With a 2-1 victory against SRC Red Sox, the OBoyz clinched third place in the 2009 SBSA Softball League. Despite the Oboyz success this year, the entire competition has proven to be full of ups and downs for the team

A miserable batting average of 0.239 in the 2nd round made life difficult as the team scored only 10 runs in 5 games. Alex emerged strongly by finishing with an average of 0.556 to lead the team in the 2nd round.

First baseman and captain Zhiwei won the batting title with a 0.395 average and an impressive 0.469 OBP. Outfielder Hongwei had the most RBIs with 10 while 5 different players had 1 homerun each: William, Shengwei, Shifeng, Changyu & Jessen.

The OBoyz pitchers finished with an ERA of 3.398, holding opponents to an average of a mere 0.211, while team ace Alex single handedly willed the team to a 3rd place finish. Fielding was unfortunately miserable as the team managed an average 3 errors per game, which cost a total of 26 unearned runs.

As the season draws to an end, other exciting opportunities await the team. First up, the NUS Open in August, and a possible regional softball tour. Watch this space for more updates!
