Upsets in men’s National League
Saturday November 19th 2005

It has been a tough start to the New Zealand Community Trust men’s National 
League for two time champions Auckland who suffered double defeat today at 
Rosedale Park, North Harbour today.

In an upset for the form book North Harbour defeated Auckland 4-2 before 
Central Vikings continued the misery for Auckland with a 3-0 win.

Against North Harbour the home side were the dominant team as they out hit 
Auckland 8-4 and made it count when it really mattered. North Harbour 
scored the wining runs in the seventh inning off the bats of Scott Higgins 
and Orlando Rodriguez.

After taking the advantage in the top of the seventh inning North Harbour 
held strong in the bottom of the inning with NZCT Black Sox pitcher Jarrad 
Martin denying the Auckland hitters picking up two strikeouts to take out 
the game.

Later in the day it was much the same story for Auckland as Central Vikings 
took the early advantage and refused to give it up. Central Vikings scored 
their first run in their opening at bat and then added another two in the 
second inning.

Auckland who is usually so strong with the bat had no answers as they 
managed only two hits and no runs. Central Vikings were led on the mound by 
pitcher Hone Mark Sinnott who took seven strikeouts in the game.

In other men’s National League games today the power hitters in the 
Wellington team have been working overtime with a hard hitting 7-1 win over 
Central Vikings followed by an 11-1 victory over the home side North Harbour.

NEW ZEALAND COMMUNITY TRUST MEN’S NATIONAL LEAGUE RESULTS:
Saturday November 19th –
North Harbour 4 Auckland 2, Wellington 7 Central Vikings 1, Central Vikings 
3 Auckland 0, Wellington 11 North Harbour 1.
