Terrific weekend of baseball at Don Klaebe Field and other venues, with close results, walk-offs and wins and losses. With just one game to go before the Christmas break some of out teams are possisioning themselves to make a charge to finals.
DIVISION ONE
Home at Don Klaebe Field
Saturday 11.12.21 v Sth Districts
WON 9-2 Needed this one, as the Hawks knocked us off in round one by a single run, and they have been having a good time of it since, being high on the ladder. Both sides took a while to get mobile with both pitchers on top, but we broke our duck in the fourth with a bases loaded walk and a passed ball run. South replied with two, but we were able to get four runs in the seventh when Todd walked, Wade and Ethan both hit, and Troy got them home, but the best was yet to come, as Troy belted a three-run homer in the bottom of the eighth to put the result beyond doubt. Joel was his tireless best for six, Troy did a couple and Cesar put them to bed. satisfying win to finish a memorable day. Hits: Troy Nicholson (hr) 3, Wade Moore 2, Ethan Marchioro, Cesar Perez, Todd Dunstall, Joel Chapman 1.
DIVISION TWO
Home at Don Klaebe Field v Sth Districts
WON 8-7 Nail biting win this one. Came down to the wire and we walked it off in the last when we were staring at a 7-7 score line. We had two outs, Finners got on, Breandan went in to pinch run, and with great base running, got home for the win. Earlier we were in a bit of strife being six nil behind, but Tyson was brought on and he dried them up. Harry got us going, and Abbey was a big contributor with two RBI's. This was our second walk- off for the day at the same venue, a bit much for some of the oldies. Hits: One each to Jesse Toepfer, Rhys Owen, Mitch Fienemann, Craig Abbott, Harry Kiss, Tyson Hancock. (See - pitchers love to bat)
DIVISION THREE
Home at Don Klaebe Field v Sth Districts Lost 3-10 Dunno why, but our bats were asleep for the first five innings, while we let them accumulate seven runs. We woke up in the sixth when Brayden started us off and we plated three to make it a little more respectable. The last two weeks we scored fifty to one, but what is that old saying - it's on the day. Hits: Brayden Marchioro, James Chu, Shane Brown, Josh Mignone 1.
DIVISION SIX
Played away at Sth District and lost 4-15 with Casey Moore doing a good job from the hill and getting two hits, and Nick McCormack also two, with Owen Williams and Noel Watson one each.
DIVISION SEVEN
Also went south but had a better result, beating the locals 17-0. Lots of good outings here with Sully pitching well and even Tyson getting in on the act, and Behr hit three times, Sully and Nicko twice, and Cuz, Tyson, Cam and Nate one each.
DIVISION EIGHT
Home at Don Klaebe Field v Sth Districts
WON 9-8 This was the game that started everybody's day with a smile - the first walk-off of the day. We started much better than in previous weeks, and were leading after four, but then had a couple of ordinary innings and we went into the last needing six for victory. We got them thanks to a timely triple from Laurie, and we had heros up and down the lineup, even the Coach put in a big one. Brad was extremely solid, and the hits were: Brad Atkinson, Laurie Sinclair 2, Derek Milne, Shane Nicholson, Greg Oxenham, Eddie Ansell, Shane Lodge, Mike Chemnitz, David Ding 1.
WOMAN'S LEAGUE
Home at Don Klaebe Field v Sth Districts Draw 8-8 We gave up two to start, but Darna put the tighteners on an we took the lead with solid hitting. But then it got tight, even after Kenzi stole a couple of bases and got home. So - come to the last and we need two to win. Carol's hit to rightfield gave us hope and Lisa put one up the middle to load the bases and we levelled on a passed ball, but that was all she wrote. Hits: Two to Lisa Hage and Megan Boers, and one each to Catie Berry, Leah Turner, Sarah McMahon and Carol Ryan.
