DIVISION ONE at Don Klaebe Field v Sth Districts Sat 10.10.26 Lost 6-17
Todd Van Steensel got the new season underway from the mound, and new signing Jose Cedeno put his name up in lights by whacking a homer with his first at bat for the Club, and being involved in another run in the third. Nathan took the ball off Todd, but the boys didn't back him up by leaking a few runs, and we found ourselves down 9 -2 in the fifth. Enter Alfredo - after Ollie, Cesar and the aforementioned Jose Cedeno all got on base - who popped one over for a Grand Slam Home run to make it 9 - 6. But we failed to capitalise on this momentum, and the boys from down south started to score again. We used four pitchers, Todd, Nathan, Declan and Cesar, and we will be strengthened by the return of Jose Pimentel next week. Hits : Ollie Hayes, Jose Cedeno (HR), Alfredo Rodriguez (GSHR) 2, Cesar Perez, Ryan Stradling 1.
DIVISION TWO at Don Klaebe Field v Sth Districts Sat 10.10.26 WON 6 - 5
We began really energetically, with Luke setting the scene with his stealing, and our defence was solid behind another new signing - AJ's brother Louis V - who's debut was outstanding. Benji and Jimmy Chu got on base in the fourth and Kossi brought them both home, and we got a vital run when it was needed after Jaxon Fridd brought Will home. Four new players, in this starting nine, so when they all get to know each other’s games, improvement awaits. Luke Taylor took two terrific catches at centre field. Hits : Steve Goldspink, Jimmy Chu 2, Luke Taylor, Will Stock, Josh Evans, Benji Hayes 1.
DIVISION THREE at Don Klaebe Field v Sth Districts 10.10.26 Lost 1-16
A nervous start saw us falling behind the eightball, but they gallantly stuck to their guns and played well in patches. Amara and Alice tried valiantly to stem the flow, but we couldn't take a trick. Stalwart Dave Lodge got our sole run on the board with a sac fly and the hits were Ken Inoue one and Matty Nanasi one.
DIVISION FIVE away v Gawler Sat 10.10.26 Lost 3-12
DIVISION SIX away v ETorrens Sat 10.10.26 Lost 6-9
Hits : Soung Kim, Brad Atkinson 2, Noel Watson, Shane Lodge
WOMAN'S LEAGUE
DIVISION ONE at Don Klaebe Field Sun 11.10.26 WON 3-2
Funny old game this one. Field had to be evacuated due to lightning at one stage when the score was 2 - 2, and on resumption we scored the winning run inside the allotted time. Previously, we had got away nicely when Smack scored and Peyton got Amara home, but just before the break, they equalised. Indy started, and after the resumption Dakota took over. The winning run came after Indy and Smack had hits and a perfectly executed bunt by newbie Hannah Mercer scored the necessary. Hits : Sarah McMahon 2, Peyton Daniels, Indy O’Hazy-Zschorn 1.
