Rochy won the toss and elected to bat first, which got off to a rocky start when opener Morgan Boyack (0) was bowled by Ben Henson at the start of the second over.
The situation didn’t improve for the visitors when James Hipwell (7) was run out by Ky Henson in the fourth over.
Cale James (10), Benjamin Hewes (2), Aidan Roulston (0), Asher Rasmussen (0) and William Hipwell (10) were all dismissed in the span of six overs, leaving Rochester in serious trouble at 7-35 at the halfway mark.
Luckily for the visiting side, the tail was able to wag with eighth and ninth batters Jake and Mitch Munro developing a defining partnership through the back half of the innings.
Navigating their way to the end of the 17th over, the Munro partnership came to an end when Jake (16) was caught by Ky Henson off Ryan Caldwell’s bowling.
New batsman Patrick Henry-Ward was caught and bowled by Caldwell on his first ball, sending the number 10 back to the pavilion for a golden duck.
Rochester’s innings was brought to a close when the other Munro, Mitch (15), was bowled by Caldwell at the end of the 18th over, leaving Rochy all out for 75.
This meant Echuca had a narrow chase required to secure victory, and it did so in dominant fashion.
Openers Xavier Carmichael and Ky Henson put on nearly half of the runs required before the latter was trapped lbw by Aidan Roulston in just the sixth over for eight.
Carmichael and Ben Henson took Echuca to the brink of glory when the second and final wicket fell, bringing an end to the former’s solid 25-run knock.
Man of the match Ben Henson (25 not out and 3-4) and Easton Carlile (two not out) got the boys in green home in 15 overs, an emphatic victory on home soil for Echuca.
The Game
Rochester 75 (Jake Munro 16, Mitch Munro 15, Ben Henson 3-4) lost to Echuca 2-76 (Ben Henson 25 not out, Xavier Carmichael 25, Aidan Roulston 1-10)
