WOODVILLE BASEBALL CLUB Results w/e Sun Jan 11 2026

DIVISION ONE Twilight away v Sturt Tue Jan 6 2026     Lost 1-5

Not one of our favourite fixtures - across town on a working evening - but turn up we did - albeit with a depleted roster.   Most clubs are in the same boat here, with holidays and junior Nationals in progress, and the Giants pinching players, and so many games in such a short period of time.  Oh well, so Nathan took to the mound and we started ok keeping them in control, but couldn't put runs on the board ourselves and after four it was one all thanks to Troy's RBI.  They got four in the fifth to look as if winners,  but we loaded the bases in the last which gave us a definite sniff, but we couldn't capitalise.  Hits  :  Oliver Hayes, Jose Castellano, Troy Nicholson 1.

DIVISION ONE At Don Klaebe Field v Glenelg Sat Jan 10 2026     Lost 3-13

Went in as dead set favourites and let ourselves down badly.  We were looking ominous in the early going and a Hayden double put us in front but two home runs in a row stopped us in our tracks.  The Bays continued to score a run here and a run there, but a five run sixth put us to bed and we tried but were just not up to it on the day.  Disappointing.  Hits  :  Hayden Carroll 2, Wade Moore, Cesar Perez, Alfredo Rodriguez, Jose Castellano 1.

DIVISION TWO At Don Klaebe Field v Glenelg Sat Jan 10 2026     WON 8-0

A completely different kettle of fish was this game as we looked to be in complete control all game with Troy flinging away from the hill, ably relieved by Ryan.  Harry got us into the scoring mode in the first, Diesel scored Goldy in the second and again Goldy increased our lead in the third.  But the best was yet to come as we scored heavily on the back of Rhys hitting three (yes three) doubles in consecutive at bats.  The boys were not troubled all game and ran out conclusive winners.  Defence was superb.  Hits  :  Rhys Owen 3, Steve (not Ken) Goldspink 2, Harrison Kiss, James Chu, Troy Nicholson, Diesel Fallon, Luke Taylor 1.

DIVISION THREE At Don Klaebe Field v Glenelg Sat Jan 10 2026     WON 12-10

Had to fight at the end, but looked to be in charge most of the way.  Should have scored early, but had to wait until the third to show our potential by knocking in six runs in emphatic fashion.  A few walks helped, but Smack, Mignone, Ollie Van Dommelle and Ken all recorded RBI's along with an Amara single, who incidentally picked off her ninth base runner for the season and was hellbent on getting her tenth.  The opposition fired back and both sides recorded four apiece in the fifth with Ollie V, Amara and Ken combining for one and after Conner walked and Josh B got two home, it was locked away at 10-10.  The win came when Ollie and Ken reached, Conner got one home and Carly did the rest.  Well done all.  Hits  :  Ken Inoue 4, Ollie Van Dommelle (welcome back) 3, Sarah McMahon 2, Josh Boden, Josh Mignone 1.

DIVISION FIVE Away v GGCD Sat Jan 10 2026

Unfortunately went down 0-15

DIVISION SIX Away v Port Sat Jan 10 2026     WON 10-9

A bit of a nail biter this one - a game between third and fourth - with our boys just hanging on at the death with the Maggies coming hard.  Full credit to all, with Dave Ding going the distance yet again.  Still a way to go, but finals a possibility  Hits  :  Brad Atkinson 2, Soung Kim, Nick McCormack, Craig Mortimore, Shane Lodge 1.

WOMAN'S LEAGUE

DIVISION ONE The scheduled game v Sth Districts Wed Jan 7 was cancelled due to heat, and is set to be played Wed Jan 14 at Don Klaebe Field at 6.00pm

DIVISION ONE Away v Glenelg Sun Jan11 2026     WON 15-0

Wow - these girls know how to play the game - all skills on show.  Started off with seven in the first on the back of a Smack single and steal, a Carly RBI, a Peyton RBI, a Dakota single and a Kym two RBI hit.  All went a little quiet, and we went off the boil for a bit until the fourth and last dig when the girls upped the ante and piled on another six.  This was an outstanding innings kicked off when Indie singled and then the next three batters all hit triples - extraordinary - Smack, Amara and Carly, followed by a Peyton single and a Dakota single.  Peyton pitched the game (just the four innings) and did it with aplomb.  Hits  :  Sara McMahon, Amara Quinn, Carly Moore, Dakota Ding 2, Peyton Daniels, Indie O'Hazy-Schorn, Kym Wilson, Beth Lee 1.
