A whole team effort has gone into the Penrith Panthers Baseball Club’s under-9 Lynx spectacular recent T-ball season.
The 11-strong squad, made up of 10 boys and one girl, all contributed to the Lynx’ undefeated season in the Greater Western Baseball Association competition.
“(They) had a marvellous season this year,” said Jim Devine, whose grandson Jack Berwick received the team’s coaches award.
“The Lynx were undefeated all year and wound up the season with a win by an innings in the Grand Final.
“Their statistics for and against for the normal season was 350 runs for and 213 against for a difference of +137.”
The Penrith Panthers Baseball Club’s under-9 Lynx are the latest nominee for the Penrith Press Local Sports Stars award.
