PLK Zombies wrapped up their seventh win to emerge champions of the 2008 Black Arrows Softball Carnival after stomping on their rivals Black Arrows I 16-7 at the Maktab Duli Pengiran Muda Al-Muhtadee Billah field in Gadong, near here, yesterday.The champions led from the start and never gave any room for the Black Arrows I to mount a comeback.The Black Arrows I were missing key players for the championship match and Zombies took full advantage of their misfortune, making it clear they meant business after the first three innings finished 5-0 in their favour. The Zombies' good defensive work meant that the Black Arrows I could not make many runs.To make matters worse, the Black Arrows I also created a lot of in-field errors and out-field misjudgments.
The Zombies' superb hitting was backed up by steady pitching and that gave their opponents a hard time the entire afternoon."This win is definitely overwhelming, our batting and fielding were superb today (Sunday)," said Zombies captain Saiful Adli. "Before the match I asked my teammates to give it their all as we had worked hard before this tournament and I am glad it all paid off," he added.Saiful said the team played well and did not depend on luck to take the title."This is our seventh win (in the tournament) and I am indeed proud of it. We are going to continue playing the best we can and are now even more motivated to train harder," added Saiful, who said the Zombies trained five times a week for two hours a day.
The Black Arrows I finished second and Wanderers were third after losing 4-2 to the runners-up.The tournament is hosted by The Black Arrows.
