Dodgers vs Aries
The previous Aries vs Dodgers fixture back in Week Six was forfeited game as the Dodgers were unable to field a legal team. This meant the teams had not played each other this year so the outcome would not necessarily be easy to predict.
Aries batted first and scored ten runs to start the game. After shutting the Dodgers out in the bottom of the first inning, Aries’ batting form continued as they scored twelve more runs in the top of the second inning.
The Dodgers scored one run in the bottom of the second inning and limited Aries to two runs in the top of the third inning. The Dodgers then scored two runs themselves in the bottom of the third inning to make the score 24-3.
After Aries scored five runs in the top of the fourth inning, Dodgers could only score another two runs and not prevent the loss by mercy rule, 29-9.
