A spectacular win in Friday night's Riverland A Grade Baseball Grand Final has seen our A grade team win their 3rd premiership in a row, defeating Barmera Lakers 18 - 8 and taking Berri's premiership tally to 4 wins in the past 5 years.
An inspiring all-round performance saw Jedd Miller (warriors) named Best on Ground. Winning Pitcher Steven Goldspink pitched the first 6 innings for the Warriors, with Jason Golding pitching out the game for the Lakers.
With Barmera unable to score, the Berri Warriors were awarded the match under the mercy rule at the bottom of the 8th.
Barmera Lakers 2 0 0 3 0 3 0 0 - 8
Berri Warriors 2 0 2 8 3 0 1 2 - 18

As a curtain raiser to the A grade final was the Little League Grand Final, which also saw the Berri Warriors take on the Barmera Lakers. With The Lakers being at the top of the table all season it was sure to be an exciting game. And it was!! Our young Warriors rose to the challenge and defeated the Lakers 15-9, with the game being called at the top of the 5th. Kenny Karpany pitched a solid game, restricting Barmera's batters, and was awarded Best on Ground.
