Veteran Canada-based Guyanese softball player Bobby Parasnauth slammed a brilliant, unbeaten 163 for Shawson against Panthers on Sunday when action continued in the 2018 Ontario Round-Arm Softball Cricket Association 20-over competition began.

Playing at Fieldgate ground in Mississauga, the pugnacious right-handed Parasnauth hit 14 sixes and ten fours as his side piled up a massive 231-2 from the 20-overs. Panthers could respond with only 161 all out in the penultimate over.
Parasnauth, who represented Demerara in softball inter-county matches over the past two decades ago, also shared an entertaining 168-run second-wicket stand with Mitch Bacchus, who contributed a cameo 67.
Bishram Sancharran was the only batsman to offer any sort of resistance in the Panthers’ reply, with an even half-century. Jerome Choti grabbed two wickets for 21 runs from his four-over spell. He was supported by Arjune Harrichar and Bacchus with two scalps each.
Meanwhile, still in the softball arena, former national youth batsman Rovendra Mandolall scored 107 not out for Carr Tec Sports Club to help beat Scarborough Angels the same day in the Ontario Softball Cricket League 20-over tournament.
Imran Alli, who represented Sunshine in that competition, strokeed 105, while Ravi Bodo registered a hundred (102) for Restoration Warriors, also in the OSCL competition, to be among the top batsmen.
The two competitions will resume this weekend with a series of matches across the Greater Toronto Area.
