ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI - Last night, Sunday July 5, 2015, the Pythons beat the Hawks, 13–9, in a close game that was finally settled on a Darier Malone drive and a fielder's error in the 5th inning that gave the pythons some breathing space.

With all their big guns, seemingly controlling the game from the plate, the Pythons found the Hawks tough to put away, something which should trouble them as without a few silly errors, the Hawks could easily have claimed a famous victory.

However, with Valissia Brathwaite on hand to wrap up the innings, despite giving away a couple of late runs, the Pythons hung on to remain unbeaten in three seasons and look odds on favourite to add the 2015 Championship to their collection.

The pythons had 9 hits for the runs and the winning pitcher was Thea Cooke.
