DIVISION ONE Twilight Tue 11.02.25 away v Port
WON 6-4
Handy win to keep us up at the pointy end of the ladder against an opponent wanting to keep their finals hopes alive. They got a run in the bottom of the first, but we showed our intent with a classy double play to end the innings before equalising in the next dig when Troy's double got the speedy Jose home after he beat the throw to first and stole second on his way to home plate. The fourth was the killer for the Maggies, as we piled on five of the best starting with Jose's double who got home on Ryan's first ground ball hit in his first Division One start (congrats), Nathan's double earned him an RBI, and then Drew's similar hit scored two and we got two more from their third pitcher of the inning after Hayden's sacfly. Productive. Troy had gone deep and Drew relieved, and the Port boys put on a couple at the death. All in all, a comprehensive win. Hits : Drew Jenssen, Jose Castellano, Troy Nicholson 2, Hayden Carroll, Cesar Perez, Joe Papps, Nathan Nicholson
DIVISION ONE At Don Klaebe Field Sat 15.02.25 v Sturt
WON 10-6
AJ was the starter and looked on song as he kept the big hitting Sturt boys in check for one run only in his five digs. We distanced ourselves from the Blue boys in the second when Jose knocked the palings off the fence with a biggie to get Wade over the plate, and scored himself on a throwing error, followed by Troy and Ollie walking and Taheny singling to enable Hayden to score the three of them, then we waited until the bottom of the fourth and Drew obliged with a three run dinger. One of their guys hit a bomb and followed up with another and we rotated the pitchers - firstly Cesar then Troy and finally Drew. We were playing heads up baseball with the bats, batting sensibly and got another two for our efforts to keep them ay bay. Taheny, Cesar, Ollie and Jose all featured at this stage. Another good one. Hits : Breandan Taheny 3, Troy Nicholson 2, Drew Janssen (HR), Hayden Carroll, Cesar Perez, Wade Moore, Jose Castellano 1.
DIVISION TWO At Don Klaebe Field Sat 15.02.25 v Sturt
WON 11-10
Another day - another walkoff. They really put us to the sword early, putting us on the back foot with six runs before we had time to blink, but our fightback began immediately when Todd, Greg and Pappsy combined for three. We just kept chipping away with runs here and there and got ahead in the fourth when Alfredo doubled and brought home two as the result of a couple of walks, then Manny's two RBI hit up the middle contributed more and Ryan had an RBI of his own. The Sturt boys were not done and evened the game up with us wanting one to win in the last. And so Manny doubled, Ollie walked and Ryan did the trick with a timely hit. We used four pitchers - Declan, Ollie, Nathan and Ryan. Hits : Ryan Stradling 3, Greg Bravo, Armando Ramirez 2, Joe Papps, Alfredo Rodriguez 1.
DIVISION THREE At Don Klaebe Field Sat 15.02.25
Lost 6-20
We were slow to get into gear and let them get three in the first, but rallied with two of our own and relied on walks mainly from then to get into scoring positions. We were tracking ok up to the fourth, but thereafter we couldn't contain them and we went on to record a bad loss. Hits : Rhys Owen 2, Will Stock, Seb Bravo, Diesel Fallon 1.
