Melbourne Baseball Club
Richard WELCH (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (09:53): On Saturday I was honoured to throw the first pitch at the Melbourne Baseball Club in Surrey Park, Box Hill. Chairman Murray Noble, vice-chair Dominique Williams and women’s club coach Craig Mitchell do a fantastic job keeping our kids involved in sport and planning for the future of the club and the pursuit of excellence. I assure the house that my pitch went straight over the plate, though a deceptive camera angle may lead people to think it went a little bit to the left. I assure you it went straight over the plate. I want to congratulate the club also on their advocacy efforts to ensure the north-west oval at Surrey Park is returned to the club so they can expand their junior programs.
