Round 9 w/e 8th December

Baseball results WDBC w/e 8.12.25

DIVISION ONE Twilight v Sturt at Don Klaebe Field Tue 2.12.25     Lost 1-19

Not too much to say except - you have to be kidding!  A fourteen run second inning put paid to any chance we may have had of victory, as we used all our resources to no avail in a bid to stop the flow.  It quite simply was not us. We had three hits for the game - namely Breandan Taheny, Jose Castellano and Ryan Stradling.  Must just put that behind us and move on.

DIVISION ONE Away v Port Adelaide Sat 6.12.25     WON 4-2

Well, that got the monkey off the back.  Winning a tight game against strong competition will do that every time.  We turned up with what seemed to be a different mind-set, and under the leadership of Jose Pimentel from the middle, we were in the lead all game.  Jose Castellano was a latecomer due to work commitments, and young Benji Hayes took the right-field position and took two great catches before having his first Div One at bat and walked to first with a big smile on his face.  Top stuff - remember the name (along with brother Ollie).  Scored two in the third and smart play by Jose P and Alfredo got us another in the fifth, but the highlight was a bomb by Cesar in the seventh, which allowed Troy to finish with two top closing innings.  Hits  :  Alfredo Rodriguez 2, Cesar Perez (HR) 1.

DIVISION TWO Away v Port Adelaide Sat 6.12.25     Lost 3-9

Close game for the most part, but they got away from us a bit towards the latter stages.  Early on Wade, Rhys and Manny combined for a run and Goldy had a RBI.  So with Nathan keeping them quiet and no hits coming from either side, they got away and set up a winning lead. One run was forthcoming in our last at bat, but it was not enough.  Hits  :  One each to Wade Moore, Rhys Owen, Armando Ramirez, Steve Goldspink and Will Stock.

DIVISION THREE Away v Port Adelaide Sat 6.12.25     Draw 6-6

With Matt, Ken and Connor all hitting early, we were in the game but Amara knocked in a couple in the fourth and it was game on.  In the sixth Goldy also scored a brace after Alice and Matt got on base and it was neck and neck at this stage.  Amara picked off two base runners in this game, making her year's total eight to date.  So we came to the last trailing by one, and Kossi rose to the occasion and put one over the fence into a fierce wind to draw the game.  Hits  :  Matt Nanasi 2, Ken Inoue, Kosuke Ikeda (HR), David Lodge, Alice Brown, Amara Quinn, Steve Goldspink 1.

DIVISION FIVE At Don Klaebe Field Sat 6.12.25     Lost 11.12

Gave the boys and girls from Flinders a huge start, trailing 1-12 at one stage, but with Jake Wilson in charge from the hill, and a steely determination, we nearly pulled off a great win.  Hits  :  Jake Wilson 3, Sam Kuhne, Chase Wallis 2, Darryl Soar, Tim Fawcett, Luke Fawcett, Jayden Oakley, Chad Garcia, Owen Williams 1.

DIVISION SIX At Don Klaebe Field Sat 6.12.25     WON 12.3 v Flinders

The boys are banking the wins in a really good year, and hopefully it will continue.  Dave Ding pitched (as usual) and the hits were  :  Nick McCormack 2, Derek Milne, Brad Atkinson, Steve Couzner, Kim Soung 1.

MASTERS at West Beach Mon 8.12.25 lost to GGCD 8-3

Hits : Brett Kelly 2, James Chu 1, Tim Fawcett 1, Steve Couzner 1

WOMAN'S LEAGUE

DIVISION ONE  Twilight v Sturt away Wed Dec 3, 2025     WON 12-4

This was a catch-up game due to an earlier washout - but it makes no difference to our girls as they just seem to be going from strength to strength.  Peyton and Alice were the pitchers, and the hits were  :  Jemila Dadd 2, Sarah McMahon, Peyton Daniels, Indie O'HazySchorn 1.

DIVISION ONE v Adelaide away Sun 7.12.25     WON 27-2

Well, what can you say.  This game was one v two on the ladder, and our girls certainly came to play.  Nothing much more to add actually as Alice was pitching in her usual fine style and the hits (all nineteen of them) were  :  Amara Quinn 4, Indie O'HazySchorn, Jemila Dadd 3, Sarah McMahon, Peyton Daniels, Alice Brown 2, Dakota Ding, Amber McMahon, Beth Lee 1.

DIVISION TWO At Don Klaebe Field Fri Dec 6.2025     Lost 16-17

The game was full of runs, and we were a bit stiff in the end as we needed six to win in the last dig, but as we all know, five is the maximum, and we got the five and the sixth to draw crossed the plate but was, of course, not counted.  Di and Kylah did the job from the middle, and the hits were  :  Alyssa, Molly, Bridget, Di 2, Lindsay, Dakota, Kylah 1.
