Monty Baseball Club

⚾ WOMEN’S FINALS WEEKEND WRAP-UP

It wasn’t the result our GMBC Women’s Team were hoping for, going down 16-4 to La Trobe Uni on Sunday at Ross Straw Field.

Playing at Ross Straw Field for the first time, the girls gave it a crack and showed plenty of fight against the team that finished top of the ladder.

Liz got us on the board in the first inning, while Ivy, Summa, Emma and Stacy each picked up a hit.

There were plenty of positives to take from the game, with the girls showing great patience at the plate, earning 7 walks, and putting pressure on the defence with an impressive 11 stolen bases. 💪

It may not have been our day, but the girls can be proud of the way they competed and of everything they’ve achieved this season ... but we’re not done yet! 🔥

The team have another shot as the take on Knox next weekend in the Preliminary Final.

Keep fighting, ladies. Let’s go Monty!

⚾ MONTY FINALS WEEKEND WRAP-UP ⚾

What a weekend of heart, fight and finals baseball for Monty. 🖤🤍❤️

There were incredible highs, heartbreaking lows and plenty of moments that showed exactly what it means to wear the Monty pinstripes. Finals baseball is tough — and while the result didn’t go our way for a couple of teams, we couldn’t be prouder of the effort, belief and determination shown on the field.

🔴 A GRADE
💔 A heartbreaking 7-3 loss to North Balwyn brings their season to an end. It was a hard-fought, competitive game that could have gone either way. While the result hurts, the boys should hold their heads high and be incredibly proud of the season they’ve had. ❤️

⚫ A RESERVES
💔 Another incredibly tight one, going down 4-3 to Heathmont. A fantastic battle from start to finish, with the boys leaving absolutely everything on the field. It wasn’t our day, but what a season. 🖤

👏 A Grade & A Reserves — congratulations on an outstanding season. You represented Monty with pride, commitment and plenty of heart. We’re so proud of you all!

⚪ A3 🔥
WALK-OFF WIN! 💥
What a finish! A3 came from behind to defeat Knox 7-6 in an absolute finals thriller! The boys showed incredible fight and belief to get it done when it mattered most.

🏆 GRAND FINAL BOUND! 🏆
See you in a fortnight, boys! ❤️‍🔥

🔴 A4
A4 got the job done against Heathmont with a win. A well earned battle! 13-12💪 The finals journey continues next weekend — keep the momentum rolling!

⚫ E GRADE
E Grade went down 9-4 to Port Melbourne, but the season isn’t over yet! 🔥 Another chance awaits next weekend against La Trobe. Time to dig deep and fight for another week!

❤️ MONTY, WE’RE NOT DONE YET! ❤️

To everyone who played, coached, supported, scored, cheered and stood behind our teams this weekend — thank you. Finals baseball is about more than wins and losses. It’s about the fight, the friendships, the memories and representing something bigger than yourself.

There’s still plenty of baseball to play… and plenty to cheer about! 📣⚾

ONE CLUB. ONE FAMILY. ONE GOAL.
🖤🤍❤️ LET’S GO MONTY! ❤️🤍🖤

What a way to finish the regular season for our GMBC Women 🔥⚾

The girls put on an offensive clinic, cruising to a 21-4 win over Diamond Creek.

GMBC came out firing, scoring 7 runs in the first inning, followed by another 7 runs in the second and 7 more in the third to put the game firmly out of reach.

The bats were absolutely on fire, with 19 hits and 11 stolen bases across the game. 💥

It was a dominant performance to close out the regular season — and the perfect way to head into finals!

🏆 GMBC Women finish 2nd on the ladder and are through to the Semi Finals next week! 🖤🤍❤️

Congratulations to the whole team on a fantastic regular season. Now it’s time to bring the finals energy! 🔥

One goal. One team. Let’s go Monty! 💪⚾
