DIVISION ONE Double-header v Sth District Game One away Sat Feb 21 2026  Lost 3-4

This was an extra crucial finals- position deciding series against the Hawks.  Sitting sixth, we needed to at least split this series to keep the wolves at bay.  We thought we were on track after leading 3-0 at the end of our fifth innings.  Earlier, a Wade walk, a Jose P single and an Ollie sac bunt followed by a passed ball gave us our first and Alfredo's single gave us another, then Cesar put one over the right-field fence in the fourth for that lead.  Comes the fifth and Hayden took a snappy catch at shortstop and completed the double play at third to end their innings, and we trotted off.  Side away, but we were called back when it was decided that the out at third had not been made.  Wouldn't you know, the next two pitches gave them three runs to equal, and they got one in the last for the win.  Our plans were thwarted in the

fourth when AJ had to retire with a side muscle problem, and Jose P had to step in.  Good effort from him.  Hits  :  Jose Pimentel 3, Hayden Carroll, Cesar Perez (HR), Alfredo Rodriguez 1.

DIVISION ONE Double-header v Sth District Game Two away Sat Feb 21 2026     Lost 0-7

Jose Pimentel had to start in this game, following on from his outstanding efforts in the first game.  It was planned for AJ to go the distance in the first game and Jose to come in for the second.  He got the stitch in the fourth and Troy and then Cezar had to cover, and the big hitters from the South came into their own, and whilst we never at any stage gave an inch, it was hard going.  Two hits from our batters tell a story - Hayden Carroll and Alfredo Rodriguez were the only ones.  Must win in the last game next week and hope for favourable results in other games.

DIVISION TWO away v Sth District Sat Feb 21 2026     Lost 2-19

We were never in the hunt, and after a reasonable start just found ourselves in all sorts of trouble in the third when they put on plenty.  The only runs we scored were on account of the opposition's errors.  Hits  :  Harrison Kiss, Rhys Owen, Armando Ramirez 1.

DIVISION THREE away v Sth District Sat Feb 21 2026     Lost 0-19

This seems to be the result of guys finding time to travel at this stage of the season with no finals involvement in the picture, and injuries after a long and arduous campaign.  Coach had pressing family committments and left the reigns in the capable hands of Josh, but the highlight of the game was in the first when our sprightly second baseman, Doggy, pulled off a fantastic play to retire a batter whilst lying on his back.  No hits !!

DIVISION FIVE Lost 18-2

DIVISION SIX Played at home against the unbeaten top team and aquitted themselves admirably, going down 4-12.  Assured of finals participation, they can look forward to this with confidence.  Hits  :  Soung Kim 3, Nick McCormack, Brad Atkinson, Steve Couzner, David Ding 1.

MASTERS away at West Beach won 4-2 v Souths

Hits Shane Brown 2, Kosi, Flash, Behr, Nate 1 each both Doggy & Behr pitched well and a nice way to end the season.

WOMAN'S LEAGUE

DIVISION ONE Away v Adelaide Sun Feb 22 2026     WON 16-1

We only had a five innings game, and just kept getting better as we went - nil in the first !, two in the second, three in the next, then four,

and seven in the last, with Alice giving them nothing from the mound, and Beth taking two pop-up catches behind the plate.  We let some of the bench players on late in the game, and Ella belted two from two and Alyssa hit into an error and got on base.  But really, the hitting, the running and the defence was superb.  Finals await.  Hits  :  Carly Moore, Indie O'HazySchorn 3, Sarah McMahon, Dakota Ding, Amara Quinn, Beth Lee, Ella Forrester 2, Alice Brown, Jem Dadd 1.

DIVISION TWO Away v H & G  Last game of the season for these girls, and the improvement has been marked.  Ended with a win against a more fancied side and had fun doing it.
