Newport Women’s Premier 1s vs Essendon

Newport Women’s Premier 1s put together a dominant all-round performance on Saturday, blanking Essendon 10–0 at Newport Baseball Club.

Newport struck early in the first, with Dale singling to left to open the scoring before Yamane brought another home with a sacrifice fly. The Rams kept the pressure on in the second, with Kuwamoto’s single, Dale’s double, and a forced error helping extend the early lead.
