For the last game of the day, Slovenia were once again an unknown for Jersey. Having found some form with the bat at the end of the previous game, Jersey were looking to forge ahead early and give everything in this game.
Jersey's defence found sublime form and kept the Slovenians scoreless for the first 3 innings, all the while consistently scoring and building pressure on their Slovenia's defence. The Slovenians managed to hit back though finding some batting form and forcing some fielding errors from Jersey to score a number of runs in the next 3 innings. Jersey responded magnificently though batting through the order to bring home 8 runs in the fifth innings ensuring Jersey's first win at the European Championships.
Whoooo! Whooo!
This is Jersey Softball Association's first participation in the European Championships, and is probably the biggest and hardest event we've taken on yet!
The championships take place between Wednesday 9th and Saturday 12th July, and we'll be keeping you posted via this blog as to the team and how we're doing.
Go Jersey!
