The win saw the soldiers amass 22 points, four better than second-placed Wells. However, it was a dreary performance by the army side but their opponents did little to put up a strong challenge. Games pitting the two sides always produce some intriguing action but Saturday's encounter lacked the usual spark.
BDF started on the bat in the top one inning and quickly shot to the lead courtesy of a Jury Manaka run. They seemed frantic to gain control of the game from as early as the opening inning. After taking the lead, the army side lay back, and looked to allow their opponents to bounce back into contention. However, police's performance was also a subdued one throughout the game. The soldiers completed the scoring in the top four inning courtesy of runs by Neo Mngqabisi and Kabo Matlo. Mngqabisi got the second run for the log leaders after Matlo's seemingly sacrificial shot was fumbled by a Police player. Matlo also surged forward after his ball was dropped and settled at third base and subsequently scored the third run for the Mogoditshane outfit. BDF could have scored more runs as the top four inning belonged to them, but seemed content with the 3-0 lead.
