Richmond Dragons21
 Guildford Mavericks 19

Guildford, April 10th, 2005. This past weekend the Guildford Mavericks opened up their 2005 season with a home game against the Richmond Dragons at their ground of Christ’s College, Guildford.

Having been starved of
baseball since the completion of the ’04 season last year everyone was eager to get right back into the swing of things. New signing to the team Owen Hazelby lead off on the mound and after a somewhat shaky start managed to find his feet and pitch a further three strong innings keeping the game close and not letting a ball out of the infield. He also contributed at the plate with a huge three base hit in the bottom of the third, which started a five run rally for the Mavericks.

In
the top of the 5th Karl Grigor came on to pitch and managed to smote the Dragons fiery offence long enough for Guildford to rally back and pull within three runs of tying the score. But the fates were with Richmond on this day, for as Guildford drew within three runs of tying the game, the Dragons managed to record the final out and end what was an exciting season opener for your Guildford Mavericks.

Maverick MVP : Owen Hazelby
