Finally our 2010 season has come to an end after a long 3+ months. I would say it is not exactly how we want to end our season, taking 2 consecutive 1 run losses to NUS and ORA. Nevertheless, I believe we gave our best shot and I think it is still a very exciting/entertaining season with some tight situations, memorable comebacks, etc.
Now talking about 2nd round, which is essentially just our game with ORA last Sun, there really isn't much to talk about. We only manage a bat avg of .211 as a team, the 2nd worst performance this season besides the Hunters game. There are only 4 hits altogether. Other than a well executed bunt hit by Spider, rest offense comes from our 2 pitchers: Alex hit safely twice with 1 RBI and Zhiguan hit a 2 RBI triple. Although a late rally almost make this another memorable comeback, basic lack of offense and some fielding errors simply proved to be deciding factor for our loss. (ORA outhit us with .368 avg)
Moving to season overall, we manage a 4th position this year, slide a position from last year. Our captain Goh once again showed his worth, finishing with .474 avg and 10RBIs, ranking 1st in both avg and RBI. This is also the 2nd consecutive year he ranked first with highest batting avg. In HR category, 4 players tied with 1 each (Yongbin, William, Hongwei, Qingwei)
In term of defense, our pitchers has a combined ERA of 5.80 this year (vs. 3.40 in 2009). There is much room for improvement on that. Fielding wise we has made on average 3 errors/game, also bit on the high side, especially most of them times, these errors always resulted in run scored.
To conclude, I think this year we still had some good offensive display in league with 10 players hitting above .300. What we need to do, in my opinion, is to continue to train or play every week if possible, so we can stay sharp and fine tune things that we probably has no time to focus on during season. (For myself as example, think is just how to last for more than 3 innings of pitching!).
Let's aim to do better in the coming NUS open!
That's all folks.
