Geraldton softball season round 5: Suiside aim to continue unbeaten run against Martians in men’s division 1

Suiside will look to extend their winning streak against Martians on Friday night in round five of the Geraldton softball season. The Bulldogs have been unstoppable so far this season, and last time the two sides met it ended in an 18-0 win for the reigning champions. With Cooper Jefferies, Liam Meharry and Jack Garland all in top form for Suiside, Martians will need something special to turn the tables. Martians do have talent in their line-up. Kynan Leggett has impressed on the pitcher’s mound, while Damon Valenti and Murphy Reid continue to be dependable with the bat. Blaze have been in great form and take on a Rams side looking to recapture last season’s consistency. Blaze come into the match after two big wins, including a 9-0 victory over Martians last round, with standout performances from Jack and Eli Etherton. The young pair have come into their own this season, maturing quickly under the guidance of experienced teammates Josh Thompson and Adam Gilchrist. Rams have undergone several personnel changes and are still finding their rhythm but will look to seasoned players like Matt Buscumb and Paul Valenti to lead the charge. In the women’s competition, it has been the most exciting start to a division one season in years. All teams have entertained and shared the spoils so far, with Rams, Marlins and Pi’s all showing strong form. Kate Harrison has been a standout for Rams, combining athletic catches in the field with energy and accuracy at bat. Ava Gould has been outstanding for Marlins, growing in confidence on the mound and at the plate. Pi’s have been consistent across the board, with veterans Nat Wisewould, Shannon Drew and Kylie Morgan providing leadership and stability. Pi’s face a double header on Saturday, taking on Rams before backing up against Marlins, while Suiside and Martians will be chasing their first big result when they meet earlier in the day. In men’s division two, it’s a similar story, with Suiside setting the pace on the ladder, unbeaten and looking every bit like champions. They are followed closely by Rams Blue and Rams White, with Blaze not far behind. Suiside take on Rams White on Saturday, while Rams Blue meet Marlins earlier in the day. Gunduwa play Blaze, and Pi’s will be chasing their first ever win when they face Martians to close out the round. In the women’s division two competition, the ladder remains wide open, with Blaze leading the pack but Suiside, Gunduwa, Rams White and Marlins all showing solid form. Pi’s faced Martians, while Rams White took on Suiside under the Thursday night lights. The round will finish on Saturday, with Marlins meeting Rams Blue and Gunduwa going head-to-head with Blaze.
