Round 18 w/e 15/2/26

WOODVILLE BASEBALL results w/e 15 Feb 2026

DIVISION ONE At Don Klaebe Field Sat 14 Feb 2026 v Port Adelaide     WON 3-2

Highly entertaining game that started as a tight pitchers' game with our guy, AJ, and their guy both giving nothing away until we were able to break the seal in the fifth with a run after Alfredo singled, Jose C walked and Wade's double scored, then they deliberately walked Cesar and Jose P's shot got another.  The Maggies clawed one back in the next, and equalled the game at two all in the eighth.  We were hitting the ball at this stage, but let ourselves down with suicidal base running, which all worked out ok in the end, but it took until the last - in a nerve racking inning - to get that elusive winning run.  Jose C worked a walk, Wade moved him around, Cesar walked and Jose C came rattling home on Jose P's ground ball which was errored.  Relief all round.  AJ's contribution was ten strikeouts in six, and Jose P pitched three for three strikeouts.  The hits were - not too many as it was that kind of game -  :  Jose Pimentel 3, Wade Moore 2, Alfredo Rodriguez 1.

DIVISION TWO At Don Klaebe Field Sat 14 Feb 2026 v Port Adelaide     Lost 4-17

The Coach, Nathan has had a hell of a season to this point, and the muscles are shrieking at him.  Their batters took advantage of this and came out firing and put on plenty.  Declan took over after coming back from knee surgery, and then the catcher, Will, went down and young Benji had to step into the breech - in fine fashion.   We couldn't catch them and went down.  Hits  :  Luke Taylor, Nat Nicholson, Declan Quinn, Matthew Nanasi 1.  Both Luke and Matthew took some fine catches in the outfield.

DIVISION THREE At Don Klaebe Field Sat 14th Feb 2026 v Port Adelaide     Draw 5-5

Amara was on the mound, relieved by Josh after three, and the runs were being shared by both sides.  We left a few on base at crucial times, but good base running kept us in the game.  Amara was looking for that elusive tenth pickoff, but will now have to wait - still a couple of games to go.  A draw was probably the right result in this one.  Hits  :  Kosuke Ikeda 3, Josh Boden 2, James Chu 1.

DIVISION FIVE Away v H & G     WON 10-8

 Real good result for the boys that have been battling away manfully all season.  Just what they deserved, and a feather in their caps.  Hits  :  Jake 3, Kai 2,Chace, Luke, Sam, Owen 1.  Kai went the distance from the middle.

DIVISION SIX Away v Goodwood     WON 10-7

Top win which keeps them well and truly in the finals - so anything can happen from here.  Dave Ding pitched the game and the hits were  :  Soung Kim, Nick McCormack, Noel Watson 2, Derek Milne, Aaron Petros, Brad Atkinson, Steve Couzner, David Ding, Mike Chemny 1.

WOMAN'S LEAGUE

DIVISION ONE At Don Klaebe Field Sun Feb 15 2026 v Glenelg     WON 17-5

Four in the first set the tone, as Smack walked, then hits to Jemma, Alice, Peyton, Dakota and a treble by Amara scored after we had finished off the Bay's first dig with a double play.  No runs in the second (what?), but another four courtesy of Peyton HPB, Indie single, Dakota RBI, Beth single and Alyssa getting two home.  Alice sat down with a dizzy spell and Peyton took over seamlessly and we put seven on the board in the next with two more added in the last.  Hits  :  Dakota Ding 2, Jemila Dadd, Alice Brown, Peyton Daniels, Indie O'Hazy-Schorn, Amara Quinn, Alyssa Lasscock.

DIVISION TWO Away v West Torrens Fri Feb 13 2026     Lost 3-4

Fantastic effort this against one of this grade's leading teams.  Nearly knocked them off.  Alyssa and Dakota shared the pitching duties and both had five strikeouts, but we had only two hitters with one each to Kylah Ding and Bridget O'Meara.
