Geocache Description:

Bottom of the 9th, bases loaded and 2 out! The bunt goes down and the squeeze play is on, it's gunna be close. Here's the throw and there's the play at the plate. Holy cow, I think he's gunna make it .......... Find the cache before the innings ends.

Take me out to the ball game!
In the '70s baseball was a bigger sport than anything in Australia (true story) ..... head out to Roger Crowfoot Field in Holsworthy, the home of the Moorebank Royals, on a Saturday for juniors and seniors or on the occasional Sunday for the Sydney Major League grade games. Come and cheer on the Royals or just come for the spectacle, as they duke it out, inning by inning with their rivals.

I have had a long association with the Royals, having been Club President and Umpire Development Officer, and this cache is long overdue, continuing my Australia-wide baseball theme.

For the junior cachers there is a nice safe playground just back at the soccer fields which has recently been refurbished and, if you are hungry, game days always see the canteen open and cooking up a storm on the bbq.

Come out for the cache, stay for the ball game. Sit a spell and chat with the scorers, but watch out ..... the Umpire's rule the roost!

Extreme stealth will be needed both on game days and during any training to nab this one. Cache can be seen from a distance, but may still be out of reach during the height of the baseball season. This is a very high muggle area on game days with no plausible cover for caching activities, giving it the 3-star difficulty rating (only a 1 on non-game days).

You are looking for an Eclipse mint tin taped black. Cache contains logbook and pencil and is only large enough for small trackables.

WARNING: RUN-OFF LAKE NEAR GZ ONLY HAS A SMALL SURROUND FENCE ..... PLEASE LOOK AFTER THE VERY JUNIOR CACHERS!
