George Collins and Jackson Caton collected two hits each as Sunshine Coast fought back with three late runs.While the results didn't fall their way in the finals, the Sunshine Coast head into their consolation game with heads held high. They  pushed every team right to the last pitch, all with sportsmanship and class to be proud of.Congratulations to all players, coaches, families and supporters on an outstanding tournament. 🧡💙⚾🥉
