AN AMAZING 15 runs in the third inning set Guernsey on their way to a 31-3 victory in the most one-sided Muratti to date.
The remarkable period turned the game in the home side’s favour at Beau Sejour, with Jersey looking a beaten outfit once the carnage was over.
The visitors batted first in the match and scored two runs early on courtesy of a huge home run over left field by Sean Billson.
Guernsey replied with four runs, three of these coming from a Ben Corson home run as he found a gap between left field and centre field.
The only score in the second innings was a fine home run from Guernsey’s joint captain Sally Le Noury, who hit the ball cleanly over centre field.
Then came the memorable third inning.
Jersey failed to score before then Guernsey batted out of their skin to score 15 runs.
The whole team had good hits and these included five home runs from Glen Cortez, Dave Rihoy, Eleisha Gettings, Jay Mariess and Hannah Coutu respectively.
