DIVISION ONE
Home game played at Diamond Sports Park Sat 9/11/24 v H & Grange
WON 3-2
Very tight game of baseball, one in which we were never headed, staying infront all game by a slim margin. Taheney's RBI in the second got us the lead, and we doubled it when we got a couple on base, and a baulk let Drew saunter in for the second. Meanwhile, AJ was strutting his stuff and giving their powerful lineup zilch, ably backed up by a stingy defence that gave them nothing. Our third came as a result of a wayward throw to first - silly not to capitalise. AJ sat down after six, and we got a slight scare when they knocked in a couple in the eighth, but the Coach put them to bed without a wimper. Hits : Cesar Perez, Drew Janssen, Wade Moore, Troy Nicholson, Oliver Hayes, Breandan Taheny 1. Nice to come back like that after last week's loss.
DIVISION TWO
Home game played at Diamond Sports Park Sat 9/11/24 v H & Grange
Lost 1-9
Declan was looking fine and kept them in check, whilst we got our solitary run in the first and things were looking ok. They got lucky in the fourth with three, and we goofed a chance with bases loaded and it took the wind out of our sales, and there was no more scoring from us. We failed big time in the latter part of the game to back up our pitchers, but a three run homer put paid to our chances. Hits : one only - Todd Dunstall.
DIVISION THREE
Home game played at Diamond Sports Park Sat 9/11/24 v H & Grange
Lost 5-18
We lost it in the first, when we let them get seven, then in the second when they got a further three - all with no reply. In fact we didn't give a yelp until the third, when we scored a creditable five runs to look a lot more competative. Our young and relatively inexperienced line up never gave up the ghost, and fought on manfully to the end. A credit to themselves. Hits : Sebastian Bravo, Luke Taylor, Will Stock, Aldo McCormack 1.
DIVISION SEVEN (Blue) v Goodwood away Sat 9/11/24
WON 7-5
Thrilling win on the back of a good pitching effort from Andrew Eime, ably backed up by Joe Braithwaite. Lots of hits - namely Nat (the Pope) Oliver with three, two to Andrew Eime and one each to Tim Fawcett, Jake Wilson, Joe Braithwaite, Jayden Oakley and Jose Beltran
DIVISION SEVEN (Red) v Adelaide at Diamond Sports Park Sat 9/11/24
Lost 4-6
Let them score three in the first, but we equalled immediately, and the rest of the game was a topsy-turvy affair with the highlights from our point of view being the pitching (all game) of Dave Ding, and then his triple at a crucial time. Nearly could have gone all the way, but that pesky third base coach spoiled the fun. Hits : Kim Hoony, Owen Williams, David Ding, Derek Milne, Shane Lodge, Aaron Petros 1.
WOMEN'S LEAGUE
DIVISION ONE Away v Sth Districts Sun 10/11/24
Lost 1-10
Thought things were going to be fine when Sarah got to second in the first, but we couldn't score - in fact we were not on the board until the last. The Hawk's ladies started slowly as well, but got their mojo going in the fourth when we put in a poor one. A shame for Alice Brown in her 150th appearance for the club, and for Alice Morrison in her first Div One start. Impatience at the plate seemed to be a problem. This team is a lot better than this showing, and no doubt will get through this. Hits : Beth Lee, Alice Brown, Dakota Ding 1.
DIVISION TWO at Don Klaebe Field Fri 8/11/24 v Adelaide Blue
Lost 5-9
First loss for these girls, and it can be blamed on the poor start when we leaked five runs. The comeback was inevitable, and we put a bit of a fright into them. We used four pitchers to try to combat them, namely Ashlee Stradling (1K), Alice Morrison (1K), Dakota Ding (2K) and Indie O'HazyZschorn (5K), and the hits came from Molly Brown, Kym Wilson 2, Alice Morrison, Jemila Dad 1.
JUNIORS
U17 Away v Sth Districts Sun 10/11/24
Draw 6-6
Got themselves into a bit of a pickle, but the last ditch effort to force the draw was amazing. Plenty of late heros, Diesel with his double, Ollie with his seven strikeouts, all backed up by Seb and his four K's and two hits, and Ollie VanDommelle, Ollie Hayes and Dakota Ding's hit each.
Junior League U15 11-11 draw VS Sturt
Great team effort and come back from 11-5 down going into bottom of last. We used 4 pitchers who all tried hard Luke Fawcett 3 strikeouts and 1 each to the other 3, some top team hitting particularly in the last inning we had it tied up and 2 outfield catches to Sturt denied us the win.
Hits Arlo Cockshell 2, Archie Wallis 1, Luke Fawcett 1, Benji Hayes 1, Chace Wallis 1, Xavier Gower 1
U13
Winners 8-7 over Henley & Grange at home. First win of the season. Wow, what a fantastic team performance in a game played in great spirits and great weather on the main diamond. Kylah was superb on the mound, keeping them scoreless, and with contributions down the entire batting line-up saw us lead 6-0 after 3 innings. Things tightened up with H&G putting runs on the board but Isaac stepped up to force the last 2 outs we needed.
Pitching: Kylah - 3.0 innings, 9 strikeouts, no walks and only 1 hit. Myles and Chris picked up 1 strikeout each.
Hits: Olive 2, Kylah (triple), Isaac, Major, Kasper, Aldeyna, Alex and Laura 1 each.
U11 Minor League win on a forfeit
Peewee had a good turnout and had 10 players. The team did well and really turned it on with the bats in the third inning which was good to see.
