Upsets in mens National League Saturday November 19th 2005 It has been a tough start to the New Zealand Community Trust mens National League for two time champions Auckland who suffered double defeat today at Rosedale Park, North Harbour today. In an upset for the form book North Harbour defeated Auckland 4-2 before Central Vikings continued the misery for Auckland with a 3-0 win. Against North Harbour the home side were the dominant team as they out hit Auckland 8-4 and made it count when it really mattered. North Harbour scored the wining runs in the seventh inning off the bats of Scott Higgins and Orlando Rodriguez. After taking the advantage in the top of the seventh inning North Harbour held strong in the bottom of the inning with NZCT Black Sox pitcher Jarrad Martin denying the Auckland hitters picking up two strikeouts to take out the game. Later in the day it was much the same story for Auckland as Central Vikings took the early advantage and refused to give it up. Central Vikings scored their first run in their opening at bat and then added another two in the second inning. Auckland who is usually so strong with the bat had no answers as they managed only two hits and no runs. Central Vikings were led on the mound by pitcher Hone Mark Sinnott who took seven strikeouts in the game. In other mens National League games today the power hitters in the Wellington team have been working overtime with a hard hitting 7-1 win over Central Vikings followed by an 11-1 victory over the home side North Harbour.
