Point Cook Baseball and Softball Club had a big start to life in the winter season and is hoping it will continue into the upcoming summer season.
The club was formed after some meetings last year between keen to make use of new facilities in Point Cook.
Steven Leone was one of them.
“The Werribee council had built fields for baseball and softball and we saw that and organically mixed together,” he said.
“We got together late last year and ended up evolving into an organisation with baseball and softball under the one umbrella.
“We’ve got a committee and a president, Neil Douglass.”
On the baseball side of things, the club fielded two senior sides in the Melbourne Winter Baseball League.
The Aviators top side, which played in division D, made the grand final before losing an an extra innings.
Leone said they were hoping to take that momentum in the Baseball Victoria summer league season.
The club will play in division 6. The season starts on October 6, with Point Cook starting the season against Diamond Creek.
“Many had played before and many hadn’t,” he said. “We’re looking to compete in the Baseball Victoria competition and I think we’ll do well.
“We’ve got some good players, some experienced players. They’ve had a season so that now helps.
“We’re looking forward to it.”
The Aviators are also looking to have an under-14 side as well.
The club is hoping to expand their numbers and looking for members from seniors to five-year-olds across both baseball and softball.
All abilities are welcome.
