Police IX Wallop Struggling BMC

Police IX sides posted emphatic victories over visiting BCM in Shell Softball League matches on Saturday. Police IX men side thrashed their bottom-placed BMC opponents 11-1 while the mercy rule saved BMC women after they were mauled 8-0 at the start of the top five inning.
