Wanganui Braves suffered its second defeat of the season in the Manawatu senior men's reserve grade in Palmerston North at the weekend.
The 11-6 loss was again to a young Dodgers team brimming with confidence. Dodgers has been the only side in the competition to lower the Braves colours after an 8-6 victory in round one.
"Bit of a disappointing result at the weekend, but we were beaten by a better side on the day," Braves player/coach Shane Foster said.
Dodgers dominated with the bat against a Braves side determined to reverse the previous loss, but just could not match them with the bat.
The Dodgers batters made 11 safe hits to Braves 6.
