DIVISION ONE Away v Sth Districts Sat 2/11/24
Lost 0-10
Didn't see it coming, didn't feel it coming, but it came - our first defeat for the season. We did it hard all day, from AJ not hitting the mark early to our almost complete lack of hitting. There were no errors in our game, but we just seemed to be lethargic, and weren't our usual sharp selves. They got an early run and then we let them in with some unearned stuff until Drew took the ball and slowed them down. They put a few over with runners on which didn't help matters, and we didn't look like making a game of it. Hits : Drew Janssen 2. Simply - an off day.
DIVISION TWO Away v Sth Districts Sat 2/11/24
WON 7-6
Always nice to come from behind on an away field. A Declan bunt got us going and we were four up by the fourth when Harry walked and Tom singled for a couple, but the Hawks got their bats going and by the last we were down 4-6. No worries - Luke, Harry and Tom singled for a run and Todd's double put another two over the plate for the lead. Troy weathered the pressure to hold them in their last, but did anyone see Declan's homer to give us our first run in the fourth? It seems it nearly went unnoticed (?), except for Tim who celebrated with high fives. Hits : "Two hit" Tom Dinneen, Todd Dunstall, Declan Quinn (HR) 2, Harrison Kiss, Armando Ramiraz, Ryan Straddling, Luke Taylor 1.
DIVISION THREE Away v Sth District Sat 2/11/24
Lost 2-8
No excuses - we don't make 'em - but it was good to see the blend of experience and up and comers making a fist of it under hard circumstances.. Ryan Stradling took the new ball in his mound debut for us and acquitted himself superbly, giving nothing away in his first two digs, until he got the stitch and let them in for a few. It was at this point that a long awaited reappearance in the batting box of a semi-retired (?) stalwart, in front of his giggling array of admirers managed to put one over the fence. Should have been on the six o'clock news. Hits : Todd Dunstall, Ryan Stradling, Rhys Owen (HR), Amara Quinn, Luke Taylor 1.
DIVISION SEVEN
Both Red and Blue teams lost, but as details were not forthcoming, that's all she wrote.
WOMEN’S LEAGUE
DIVISION ONE At Don Klaebe Field Sun 3/11/24 v Adelaide
WON 11-1 (Mercy)
Alice Brown took to the mound and took on the opposition in no mean feat going the distance in a fine display. We showed our intent in the second when Amara walked, Alice B singled, as did Jemila and Kelsie walked for one, and Dakota grounded out for our second. We scored the maximum seven in the next, followed by two, almost seeing Indie emulating her in the park home run of last week, settling for a triple. Very, very good. Hits : Alice Brown 2, Indie O'Hazy Zschorn, Beth Lee, Jemila Dadd, Kelsey Goldspink 1.
DIVISION TWO Away v Gawler Fri 1/11/24 WON 5-3
Nice to record a win after the trip to Gawler on a work evening at a 6.00pm start. Our pitching was the key, with Alice Morrison and Indie O'Hazy Zschorn each recording three strikeouts and Dakota Ding two, and the hits coming from Jemila Dadd 3, Alice Brown, Rachel Page 2, Alice Morrison, Dakota Ding, Molly Brown 1.
Senior League defeated Port 3-2
U15 (Junior League)
5-3 vs West Torrens win, great team performance on the back of some excellent pitching by starter Chace Wallis 7 strikeouts through 5 innings and Archie Wallis in relief for the final inning, Hits Remy Brooks 2, Archie Wallis 1, Luke Fawcett 1, Chace Wallis 1, Xavier Gower 1
U13 (Little League)
Lost 8-4 at home to Northern Districts. Started slowly with Norths jumping out to a 5-1 lead after 2. Kylah struck out 3 in the 3rd and a rally looked possible when Ely knocked in 2 off a nice double to right field. Players showed improvement from last week and a few learning opportunities were identified. Kylah and Myles pitched well, throwing lots of strikes. Kylah struck out 8 through 3.0 innings and Myles 5 strikeouts over 2.0 innings.
Hits: Ely, Chris
Minor League lost 8-4
