Bartlett Blast delivers walk off glory

Westgarth 3rds Stage Remarkable Baseball Win Westgarth Baseball Club has had many wins in its proud 67 year history but few could have been more remarkable than the victory achieved by the 3rds team against Monash University on Saturday. On a bitterly cold afternoon at Merri Park in Northcote the Wesgarth team took to the plate for one last time trying to come back from a 14-9 deficit.  The young Monash southpaw pitcher who had started the game and deserved the victory quickly retired the lead-off batter.  Clean-up hitter Gary McKeown then briefly delayed the inevitable with a double to right field.  Marcus Garafillis capped a 3-hit game by singling to centre field and scoring McKeown.  That cut the deficit to 4 but the game looked all but over when the next hitter popped out to 2nd base in the fading light.  Westgarth were down to their last out and Monash were only one out away from securing the win.

Tee Ball

What is tee ball? Tee Ball is a modified version of baseball. The major modifications include no pitching, hitting the ball off a tee of adjustable height, a reduced time of play, and competing on a diamond which is only two-thirds of the senior size. The games provide a lot of fun, opportunity for rapid improvement in ball skills, hand-eye coordination and general confidence, as well as fast moving excitement during the game itself. The Westgarth tee ball program places an emphasis on safe play, having fun and learning new skills. Our program is suitable for children aged 5 to 10 years. In 2018 we launched a Prep/Grade 1 mini session alongside our normal program. Our tee ball location Merri Park, cnr Sumner Ave & St Georges Rd, Northcote.
