DIVISION ONE
Game 1 of a possible three Elimination Finals at Don Klaebe Field Sat 8.03.25 v Sturt
Lost 0-14
Just two bad innings - that is all it took, coupled with a lack of hitting, to put us behind the eightball in this finals fight. Walks and errors were our enemies in this game, and we certainly didn't back up our pitchers, namely AJ, Ollie and Pappsy. Nothing of note to report in the field or in the batting box. Best thing is we get to fight another day. Hits : Cesar Perez 2, Oliver Hayes, Breandan Taheny 1.
Game 2
at Don Klaebe Field Sun 9.03.26 v Sturt
WON 3-2
Absolutely nothing happened for the first six innings with Sturt the only team to trouble the scorers with a single run, and another in the top of the seventh, as Drew was really keeping a tight hold on their batters. We were hitting a lot better but not converting, but got some reward at last in the seventh after Ollie got on, Drew doubled and got him home, and Hayden's RBI squared the game at 2 - 2. So then to the eighth - no further runs from either side as Cesar took over on the mound, and no runs from Sturt in their ninth. A walkoff was the possibility and Alfredo singled as did Ollie and Jose obliged by smashing one to the outfield for the winning run to cross the plate. Series tied at one all. Hits : Hayden Carroll 3, Cesar Perez, Jose Castellano 2, Drew Janssen, Troy Nicholson, Joe Papps, Oliver Hayes, Breandan Taheny 1.
Game 3
at Don Klaebe Field Sun 9.03.26 v Sturt
Lost 1-12
Cesar kept the momentum going by starting, but the Sturt boys came out in a different frame of mind from the previous game and rattled on three quick runs to put us on the back foot. Troy relieved and the runs kept flowing, and it was not until the fourth when Pappsy put one of our guys over the plate for an RBI and our one ond only run for the game. Pappsy lived at rightfield for the day, taking numerous catches. The finals campaign for the Div One boys has come to an end, but an extremely happy season was had by all. Hits : Drew Janssen 2, Hayden Carrol, Wade Moore, Joe Papps 1.
DIVISION TWO Away v Henley Sat 8.03.25 WON 13-3
This Elimination Final was won early, as the "Rams" gifted us runs early in the piece with a host of errors along with plenty of walks. We had to take advantage of this, and we did just that with plenty of good hitting to back up Declan and Nathan from the hill. Game was called early and we march on to the semis next week. Hits : Greg Bravo 4, Armando Ramirez 2, Alfredo Rodriguez, Nathan Nicholson, Tom Dineen 1.
WOMEN'S LEAGUE
DIVISION ONE Away v Sturt Sun 9.03.25
Lost 3-4
An unfortunate loss by 1 run but we get the 2nd chance next week. Really good year, in which new ones were added and flourished and the more seasoned campaigner’s held their own. They were a privilege to watch - you shouldn't be allowed to have that much fun playing baseball.
JUNIORS
U15
The Boys had a terrific season, finishing second, but played possibly their most disappointing game of the year, losing 1-14 in the Semifinal.
