DIVISION ONE
Two twilights in the one week - both against the same opponent and with different results - one a travelling game to Golden Grove and the other a home encounter.
Away v GGCD Tuesday 15.02.22
Lost 3-14 Got off to a shocker, with seven against in the first two digs. We stopped them for a while with Nat getting into his work, but they powered away towards the end and with their aggressive approach and our errors, we were never in the hunt. Hits: Todd Dunstall 2, Cesar Perez, Troy Nicholson, Troy Weinert, Ethan Marchioro 1.
HOME v GGCD Thursday 17.02.22
WON 4-3 One run apiece in the first, and just as we got momentum, we were on the end of a rare triple play - out at second, the double to first and the put-out at home on the steal attempt. They scored next, in the fourth with two, and we took the lead when Cesar hit to make base and we were lucky enough to get two walks to load 'em up. Tom and Ethan both hit to score three. Weiny was powering away from the hill, allowing no more and Cesar closed out the last to record the victory. A bit of relief on the back of Tuesday's disappointment - one all is definitely not what we were wanting - but better than nothing. Onwards and upwards. Hits: one each to Wade Moore, Cesar Perez, Troy Nicholson, Troy Weinert, Ethan Marchioro and Tom Dineen.
HOME v Goodwood 19.02.22
WON 6-3 We took them on with a much depleted side due to birthday celebrations in Darwin and various other reasons, but they were unaware that we were ready to unleash Tolsy on to them. In 8.1 innings of mastery, he amassed eighteen strikeouts against the top hitting team in the competition and gave up one solitary walk, leaving Cesar to strike out the remainder. First dig - 1,2,3 out and we got three with Ethan, Cesar and Troy N combining for one run and Muggsy's broken bat hit giving him two RBI's. Troy N belted the first of his two homers for the game in the third to make it four - nothing, and his next in the eighth with a runner on rounded out the score. The Goodwood's solo hit was a three run home run in their fourth inning, off the bat of an ex Senator. Just shows that we can mix it with any side, with inconsistency being our major bugbear. Hits: Troy Nicholson (2HR) 3, Ethan Marchioro 2, Callum Park, Cesar Perez, Ryan Muggleton, Joel Chapman 1.
DIVISION TWO
v Goodwood at Don Klaebe Field 19.02.22
Draw 8-8 We got behind early giving up four in the first two innings, but would not lie down and came back with a vengeance in the third when a sac fly by Kieran got us on the board. But the best was yet to come and we piled on six in the fourth when Muggsy walked, Kossi and Abbey and Rhys all hit and Kieran's two run homer almost sealed the deal. Tyson took a rest from the mound, and one by one, the Indians managed to even it up and we really had a chance in the bottom of the last, but couldn't quite get there. Hits: Rhys Owen, Daniel Chapman, Kieran Pett (HR) 2, Richard Olson, Kosuke Ikeda 1.
DIVISION THREE
v Goodwood at Don Klaebe Field 19.02.22 WON 9-0 With Joe in fine form in the middle and his Dad in even finer form in the canteen with his chilli sauce on chips and hot dogs, we cruised to a relatively easy win, made easier in the first when their starter couldn't get his radar working and gave us a good beginning. We were steady all game, and it was important that we put up a solid performance with finals looming. Kossi got us going, and finished with a two RBI hit to seal it. Lodgy's catch was a beauty. Hits: Kosuke Ikeda 2, Harrison Kiss, David Lodge, Shane Brown, Joe Chapman 1.
DIVISION SIX lost to Goodwood 0-11 with Nick McCormack getting the sole hit.
DIVISION SEVEN also played away at Goodwood but fared much better, recording a 17-5 win on the back of Tyson Jarvis's fine pitching and solid hitting from Flash, Cam 3, Nate, Behr 2, Tyson, Cuz, Nicko and Dorney 1.
DIVISION EIGHT Lost at home to Goodwood 3-8 Azza was our starter and gave up a few early but really dried them up in the middle innings - probably his best outing for the season. Good effort. There wasn't really all that much in it, we had some moments and had chances. Highlights - Lawrie's triple, Shane's hoovering job at short, and Tim"s catch. Hits: One each to Aaron Petros, Derek Milne, Lawrie Sinclair, Shane Nicholson and Mike Chemney.
