ROUND 6 - w/e 16th Nov

DIVISION ONE v GGCD at Don Klaebe Field Sat 15.11.25     WON 6-1

With regular starter AJ on Giant duties in Perth (and pitching them to a win in game four) we relied on Jose Pimental to set the scene, and set the scene he did with eight wonderful innings pitched allowing only three hits and one run with twelve strikeouts. A fine starter in his own right.  On top of his good pitching, the defence was superb and went errorless for the afternoon, with our batters finally overcoming their starter by scoring runs in singles until we had a surge in the seventh on the back of some aggressive base running by Jose C. Cesar popped in for the close, and it all went effortlessly.  Hits  :  Wade Moore 3, Cesar Perez, Troy Nicholson 2.

DIVISION TWO v GGCD at Don Klaebe Field Sat 15.11.25     WON 7-5

The bats were working early and we were assisted by a flurry of balls, and as a result we got runs on board with a minimum of fuss and gave ourselves some insurance for any comeback that the Dodgers' may mount.  Fourth dig, and Will Stock gave us two runs with his first senior home run - a forerunner we think of the future. All players contributed in some fashion, and Nathan was once again in prime form going seven innings and leaving the mound with us well in front.  Hits  :  Harrison Kiss, Luke Taylor, Will Stock (HR) 2,Jimmy Chu, Nathan Nicholson, Rhys Owen, Kosuke Ikeda 1.

DIVISION THREE v GGCD at Don Klaebe Field Sat 15.11.25     Lost 3-6

Not at all happy going down to the bottom side in a game that we should have eaten up.  Hitting was lacking at crucial times when we needed to step up, but a couple of KC's put paid to any comeback.  Amara is proving to be the "pick-off Queen" lately and got another victim at second, and Doggie once again strutted his stuff and can still throw some good tricky balls at the death.  Hits  :  One each to Kosuke Ikeda, Shane Brown, David Lodge, Josh Boden and Amara Quinn.

DIVISION FIVE away v Adelaide Sat 15.11.25     Lost 1-16

Didn't give the scorers much of a hassle with only two hitters for the day, namely Owen Williams with two and Jake Wilson with one.

DIVISION SIX away v Goodwood Sat 15.11.25     WON  11-5

Now, here's a story -  these boys are on a roll with two wins on the trot, and doing it in fine fashion as well.  Man of the match Soung Kim was on fire with seven unblemished plays from shortstop and Coach Brad is in line for "Coach of the year" honours.  Hits  : Derek Milne, Soung Kim 2, Nick McCormack, Craig Mortimor, Shane Lodge, Mike Chemny, Steve Couzner 1.

DIVISION TWO away v Sturt Fri 14.11.25     Lost 11-12

MASTERS lost 2-1 to Sturt hits Ken Inoue 2, Jimmy Chu 1, Dave Ding 1, good pitching from Doggy another 3 shutout innings. It was a good tight game!

JUNIOR LEAGUE

U18 at Don Klaebe Field Sun 16.11.25 v H & G     WON 9-0

Comprehensive win with Ollie Hayes in complete control on the hill, and there was some exciting stuff in the third as we powered our way to six runs.  Dakota closed, and the hits were  :  Jack Robson, Ollie Hayes 2, Benji Hayes, Will Stock, Dakota Ding, Luke Fawcett 1.

U14 at Don Klaebe Field Sun 16.11.25 v Sturt     Lost 2-4
