ROUND 3 - w/e 26th Oct

DIVISION ONE v Sturt at Don Klaebe Field Sat Oct 25 2025     

First game of a scheduled double header.  We held them scoreless in the top of the first, and had scored one in our first at bat after Cesar scored Jose with a sac fly.  Then, down she came - thunder, lightening and heavy rain - enough for the umps to call off the day after deliberating for some time.

DIVISION TWO v Sturt at Don Klaebe Field Sat Oct 25 2025     Loss 1-6

Declan pitched from the getgo and kept them in check until they got three in the third, and we pegged one back in the same dig when Luke walked, Will doubled and Harry hit the first of his singles for the day.  Ryan took over and the Saints kept adding runs in singles, and our hitting was not allowing us to score - only four hits for the afternoon.  Hits  :  Harrison Kiss 3, Will Stock 1.

DIVISION THREE v Sturt at Don Klaebe Field Sat Oct 25 2025     WON 5-3

Under threatening skies and the odd thunderclap, Amara took to the mound and threw five innings of really solid stuff, before being relieved by Goldy, who closed off.  Earlier, Rhys and Davey combined and, along with a couple of walks to Alice and Amara, we posted our first.  Goldy's treble and a Rhys fence- rattler scored us again and Matt Nanansi had his first senior hit.  Diesel's walk helped the cause, and with another Goldy hit and a sac fly by Matt, followed by a couple of throwing errors, we were winners.  Hits  :  Rhys Owen 3, Steve Goldspink 2, David Lodge, Matt Nanansi 1.

DIVISION FIVE  Lost to Glenelg 1-12

DIVISION SIX v Gawler away Sat Oct 25 2025     WON 13-9

Gutsy, come from behind win after being 5-7 down in the fifth.  Brad's two run double started the run, and a six run final innings did the trick.  Dave Ding went the distance with five strikeouts, and the hits were :  singles to Derek, Kim, Dave, Watto, Chem and Brad, and doubles to Brad and also Craig Mortimore.

WOMEN'S LEAGUE

DIVISION ONE v Glenelg away Sun Oct 26 2025     WON 16-3 (Mercy)

First dig went like this for four runs - Smack single off first pitch, Amara double for one RBI, Alice single got another, Petyon's double scored again and a fielding error finished it off.  This was the story of the game, with the maximum seven coming in the third as the first of our three pitchers - Dakota Ding - was really working into the game.  She was then ably supported by Alice (who was on fire) and Peyton, who closed with aplomb.  Hits  :  Sarah McMahon, Alice Brown, Peyton Daniels, Dakota Ding 2, Amara Quinn, Beth Lee, Amber  McMahon, Alyssa Lasscock 1.

DIVISION TWO at Don Klaebe Field Fri Oct 24 2025      Lost 1-6

Kylah (so young) was terrific throwing the full distance from the mound, and Di took over and was, as usual, so competative.  Unfortunately, only four hits tells the story of our lack of runs, but it is all there, and only a matter of time before all this clicks.  West Torrens appear to be a bit strong in this grade.  Hits  :  Molly Brown, Kylah Ding, Di Barry and Ashlee Stradling - one each.
